Basically I want the most bang-for-my buck gaming rig, so please be very nit-picky and tear this build apart. In this build all I really care about are good sound and good gaming. I need all peripherals (I want a headset, so I don't need speakers) and will have to purchase all parts.
Here is the link to my wish list

total thus far: 1290.89 (not counting the $80
in mail in rebates) I still need a mobo, cpu, and os and I don't know what to get.
I am open to all suggestions and would also like to know if all the parts are compatible, I would like to order the parts as soon as possible, and are there any cheaper newegg alternatives?

I am trying to keep costs down, so if you see something that is unnecessarily powerful or just isn't needed (or if there is a cheaper alternative), please let me know. My budget is sub $2000. I'd like to keep it in the 1500-1600 range if I can.
 
Your links don't work.

Aside from that, I would get DDR2-800 to get rid of a possible bottleneck.
 
umm why wud he want a 6420

with that kind of gaming rig u would want an e6600 and with tomorrows price drops they shud be very affordable

wouldnt make a difference while gaming really. its the video card that matters most
 
e6320 would work fine. its conroe so that mean 4m l2 cache and a little ocing would bring it to the same as a e6600.
