Default Want to buy a gaming PC

Hey :)
I'm interested in buying a new computer (tower only) and want to check on prices.
I'm looking for these parts (or similar)

P4 Q6600 (2.4 Quad) + Vista
4gig Ram (DDR3)
8800 gtx (716 one, I think)
And an appropriate motherboard that'll be able to handle the above.

Thanks in advance
electrik

Also, forget the 4gb ram. 32bit Vista will only 'see' 3gb, although you can purchase 3gb and still run in dual channel, although i've yet to see ddr3 sold in dimm's of 512mb (anyone?)

You don't quote a psu, you'll require around a 600w for that spec depending on the rest of your build's components.

I'm assuming you want to purchase the components from the internet, as your location is showing at Australia I'm not familar with which internet sites, as in E-tailers, you can use.
