PC Build

Does everything look compatible for a PC build out of this list of components? Got two of these off eBay for 45 bucks each Originally was going to go with one 6800GT but for 105 bucks shipped, an SLi setup is too cool not to have in my Antec SuperLanboy with heavy UV mods.

From what I can tell, it seems to look good. Are you sure that is a 56x DVD-ROM and not a CD-ROM? Also, what motherboard and processor are your using? I would recommend AMD's 64-bit processors. They are very flexible and powerful.

OP
Well it is a 56x CD-ROM but it can read DVD's also, not sure at what speed. I have used it in multiple PC's so I'm not worried about it not working. I provided a link to the CPU/Motherboard I will be running, a Pentium D 805 and an ABIT NI8 SLi motherboard. I will be using a Thermaltake BigWater SE kit and the processor is the overclocking champ right now. Has been proven stable over 4 GHZ and its uber cheap at only 125 bucks for a dual core. I originally planned on building an AMD platform but the Opteron's dont even start until 280 or so dollars for low end. Not to mention the price of the X2's. It isn't built to be a blazing gaming machine but will be awesome for the games I play. (EverQuest 1, Rise of Legends, Half Life 2, CS:S and so on)
