help on new build

would like some tips on what i should get towards building my new system..

so far i have a

evga nforce 790sli FTW digital PWM

http://www.evga.com/products/moreInf...board%20Family

and i plan on getting(unless of coarse someone has a better plan)

Q9550 core 2 quad

and adding a Zalman CNPS9700 NT as my cpu cooler

and thats about all i've thought about

what kind of ram would you recommend and how big of a power supply would i need to drive this thing.

the video card is a whole other headache ,leaning towards the nvidia nforce gtx 260 the 285 is $150 bucks more..is it worth it?

this motherboard is supposed to be great for overclocking...i'll probably try my hand at that..so overclockability of the components i put on this thing should be a consideration.


any help with this would be appreciated.

You might find this handy to use , click on th e link for the LITE VERSION and it will tak eyo uto the appropriate page.

What is your budget for the rest of the parts ?

There are probably better coolers than the Zalman available, though they do make good stuff.

Very nice indeed! Should be able to run anything you throw at it :)
