Yes, again. I'm trying for around $1000, all I'm sure of so far are an eVGA 8800GT and a Q6600. Looking for specific recommended parts. If someone posts something you think would be good, just say so, you don't have to recommend something different. I don't want to worry about having issues with the parts.
First time building a computer, need suggestions

How about nvidia 560i and 2G mushkin PC4200 DDR2 ?
If you want to, you may wait little later in february to get the new Geforce 9 cards.

It already comes with one, unless you want to replace it with a third-party cooler.
As for the mobo, I chose it only because it offers DDR2 and DDR3 support. You can replace it with the ASUS P5K or the Abit IP35 Pro if you want. Another mobo with DDR2 and DDR3 support is the MSI P35 Neo Combo, but it's not a great overclocker.

overclocking is overrated. Buy the specs you want and be happy with it.
As for 'dead motherboards' in the reviews, you'll see those everywhere, stick with one that has a warranty and good customer service. I use ASUS and they work great, i did fry my MB but it was my fault, they still serviced it and got it back in a reasonable time frame.
