Default Loads of new computer hardware

firstly, I hope this is the best place for this, as it contains parts from several other sections.

Well because my computer is getting rarther old, i felt it was time i splashed out and upgraded it, I don't have a hudge budget, but i've put some stuff together and would like to know what people think of it, and whether it is good or not. this machine will be used mainly for gaming. I have compiled this from www.ebuyer.com the manufacturer's code and the Description is copied from their website.

Motherboard: ASUS P5KC AiLifestyle Series iP35 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard, manufacturer #: 90-MBB660-G0EAY00Z

Processor: intel Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4Ghz) socket 775 OEM version, manufacturer #: HH80562PH0568M

RAM: OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500, manufacturer #: OCZ2N1066SR2GK

Processor fan: Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler, manufacturer #: AC-FRZ-7P

GPU: XFX 8800GT XXX Edition 512MB DDR3 Dual DVI HDCP HDTV out PCI-E Graphics Card, manufacturer #: PV-T88P-YDD4

PSU: Corsair HX Series 520W Modular PSU - ATX12V v2.2 APFC, manufacturer #: CMPSU520HXUK

Case: Antec Nine Hundred - Gaming Case with 200mm Top Fan - No PSU, manufacturer #: 0761345-08009-5


i am going to use my current hard drives, monitors, keyboard, mouse etc, how ever i may want a new DVD drive to go with the black case, as the my current one is white, so if someone can reocomend one, i would be pleased.

All this is about my max budget, but with the new processors and gfx cards coming out fairly soon, it should get cheaper.

Please let me know what you think of it, and any changes that i should make to it.
