Hi, i am sort of new here and am looking for advice on building a gaming computer. i have some experience with low end computer hardware but have never actually built a computer before and want to make sure all of this will work together, and that i am getting a good deal.
i want a computer that will be able to play newer games at a decent graphics level for the next 3-4 years with minimal upgrading, this is what i am looking at right now...

XION Power Real 1000W ATX Power Supply... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=A406-1116

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Processor... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...=CP2-DUO-Q6700

EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=E145-2037

OCZ Fatal1ty Dual Channel 4096MB PC10666 DDR3 1333MHz Memory (2 x 2048MB)... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=O261-7612

PNY GeForce GTS 250 Video Card... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...4&Sku=P56-0252

Ultra M923 ATX Black Full Tower Case... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...0&Sku=ULT40125

Ultra X-Wind CPU Fan... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...3&Sku=ULT33193

i had originally found all of these on tiger direct which is why i linked from there but i am aware that some of these components are cheaper on newegg.

anyway, my budget is about $1000(US) but i would prefer not to go above 800. i dont really want to have to put more then $150-$200 into it for the next 2 or so years. anyway, tell me what you think
