For the first time I have decided to move away from prebuilt overpriced dell systems to try to build something for myself. I have done a lot of reading and consulted 2 computer savvy friends to help me make decisions for all of the parts. I am planning on buying most of my parts now and then ordering another shipment of the last few in a couple weeks. I also have a friend who is experienced at building computers who will help me put it together when I get all the parts.
Basically I am just looking for general advice as to whether everything looks compatable and should run smoothly. As long as nothing is a terrible choice that sticks out like a sore thumb, I won't make any changes. This will be my computer for general use in college, including a lot of gaming.

Other parts not on the list that I will purchase later:
E6600 processor (when I can find it for a good price)
some type of front bay (fan control, possibly LCD display for fan speed and temerature readings)
Keyboard, mouse, mousepad, headphones, speakers are all taken care of.
Advice? Am I missing anything important?
