I've heard that most games will run on 32bit is this true?

Help out and tell me if this setup is fine!

Ur not a noob at all. That build is really good. You chose some really good parts and they are all compatible as well. If I were you I would get the 64-bit version of Vista. It doesn't cost any extra and will utilize all 4 gb of ram. 32-bit will recognize and use 3.5 gb. If you don't want 64-bit for some reason it doesn't matter because 32-bit will run all games.

Are you going to OC? If so change that to a AMD PII 940 BE build.

Since you chose an ATi card, you do not need the P6T's SLi support, so you can save yourself some money. MSI X58 Pro.

NO!!!!!!!!!!! Keep the i7 it will outperform the PII 940 and easily out overclock it. I have friends who put their i7's to 4.4 ghz on air!!

Jarlmaster.... If they put there i7's to 4.4 ghz on air... What motherboard did they have? And the new AMD X4's are totally amazing.... So I would recommend it if you want to save money but the only problem with AMD is there motherboard's dont support DDR3 yet but they will soon! so it's best to buy a AMD X4, With a cheap AMD motherboard and just replace it when DDR3 Comes.

My friends had the Rampage II Extreme board. Look on the internet and you will see people who write in about their overclocks and there are quite a few about i7's. i7>X4 period.
