Ah, I accidentally clicked submit before I could list the specs, and there's that edit glitch going on. I'll post them in a second, I have to take a shower real quick.

Specs -

According to SRL, everything but the graphics card is fine. Should my computer be able to play it, or will it say "graphics card not supported?"

Yeah, I guess I'll overclock it.

@RayvinAzn: I've never built a computer before (I really feel like a noob), so what's an "aftermarket cooler?" :P And what difference would LEDs make?

I'm building a PC and I have a $1000 budget. Here's what I have so far:

Intel Core 2 Duo E440: $130
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB: $70
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT: $250
CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB: $50
Thermaltake Bach VX: $65
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L: $95
Antec Earthwatts 430W: $60
Philips 20x SPD2413BD DVD Burner: $30
Lite-On LH-16D2P-08 DVD-ROM: $18
Windows Vista Home Premium: $112
Total: $880

Question: I still have $120 left, so should I buy a little bit more RAM?

Also, please share with me your opinion on what I currently have.

Somebody recommended that I get something with 500w. Will that 430w still suffice?

NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT: $200 - $250
