Looks good. But why are you getting Vista. If you can, definitely spend the money to get Windows 7. Much better than Vista in my opinion.

Uhh.. are you buying this new computer that's already made or something? You don't have the processor or anything listed.

If not, you should list your price range, because your getting pretty old hardware, not to mention vista.. ew.

Are you buying everything new? If so then you need to giant overhaul, how much do you plan on spending?

Any Intel i7 quad core processor will be perfectly fine. It will give you the cpu power needed and it will be able to overclock in the future.

I can spend only 400$ but.. im using the rest to get L4D2 and BF2

Unless it's a pre-built computer, or low-end specs, I dont know how your spending less than $400 for a computer. If you want, I'm sure myself and others in the community could put up some specs and links for a computer just as good for around $400. I know that AMD has a Quad Core Athlon II for around $150 that is much better performance-wise than a low end i7.

EDIT** : and, you don't need water-cooling. You can get a good case with 120mm or 80mm fans to cool your rig just fine.

Yeah, I'm not sure how your buying all this for 400$ unless the computer is already put together and someone is selling it.

Alright man, just brush up on some computer tech things before you go, like what's good and what-not. I just would hate to see someone get ripped off. An i7 and 9800GTX for $400, Thats what it normally costs to just get those parts.
