Can you guys please tell me what parts I should buy, remove, change and so on? I plan to play in a dorm room and I will have my own modem and so on but until than i will share a internet connection with a computer downstairs through a router so do i need a netwrok card wireless network card?

What's your budget, what are you willing to spend?

On the PC alone preferably.

I'd say go for an 8800gt. Other than that looks nice. If I was going for a little future proofing I'd go with another mobo and drop the second DVD

PSU may cause issues in the future, GFX card, meah, i would get an 8800GT.

To future prof i'd upgrade the CPU and MOBO

You're links aren't working.

Whats your budget and what are your needs in this desktop? Gaming? Photo editing, interweb browsering?

What games do you plan on playing?
