I'm about ready to build a new computer and my knowledge is way outdated. This is a "first draft" of different components and could use any advice anyone can offer. Anything from pointing to good deals to advice on specific components. I especially want to make sure everything will work together and be able to play the latest games. Thanks

Look at boards based on the Intel P35 chipset. And compare the prices at newegg.com
