Been saving my pennies and have approx. £950 for my dream machine.

Looking at:

E6600
2GB 800Mhz Ram low latencey
Mobo - not sure - but need reliable one for gaming and video editing
88000GTS 320Mb card - BFG looking good.
Quiet - good cooling gaming case - Antec 900 looks the daddy.
2x 500GB 16MB cache drives - WD
Onboard sound - if decent mobo
Gig lan
Firewire
Power supply - quiet
DVD burner - would like lightscribe and robust burner.

The main areas I am looking for advice on a good memory mobo combination that will work with the Antec case and a decent power rated power supply preferably as Eco friendly as poss and enough power for the gaming !

E6600-£167.16
2GB 800Mhz Ram low latency-£56.99
Mobo-No clue
88000GTS 320Mb card-No clue but seems expensive
Gamer Case-You can't get it in Europe (I think that's where you live.)
2x 500GB 16MB cache drives-Woah! Are you sure you want this? I priced this at about £477.284!
Onboard Sound-If you mean like a speaker on the processor or somethin' then I think it comes with it already.
Gig lan-I don't understand what this is. Neither did Google or Yahoo.
FireWire-I think it comes on with the Gamer Case. You'll have it I think if you even get it.
Power Supply-£109.627
DVD Burner-£139.786

I'd also recommend an extra external harddrive that's 500 GB and here in the U.S., they go for about 140$.
