New PC

[JReezy]

I am ordering a new PC, primarily for poker. Here are the parts I have saved in my cart on newegg right now:

-Western Digital Raptor X WD1500AHFD 150GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM

-GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

-Rosewill RP550-2 ATX12V v2.01 550W Power Supply

-Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400LLK

-MSI P6N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80562Q6600

-COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

-Sony NEC Optiarc 18X DVD±R DVD Burner with 12X DVD-RAM Write Black SATA Model AD-7170S-0B - OEM


How does it look? Any further recommendations as far as replacing one of the parts I have picked out or additional items I should order? Does anyone think purchasing a cooler and fan are necessary?

Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated!

Yes, get an aftermarket fan and heatsink. It will run quieter and cooler than the stock fan.

Do you happen to have any suggestions for a reasonable fan and heatsink?

I'd take a look at this list and choose a different power supply. Rosewill doesn't seem to be a good brand.

Rosewill is a newegg house brand, so depending the on the item quality can vary wildly.
