Well, the title pretty much says it all. I'm not exactly a computer rookie, and I think that I'm confident enough know to build my very first rig. This is a link to my wish list that I have lined up on Newegg. Also, please never mind the keyboard/mouse combo, I'm actually going to go ahead and get a Logitech G11 keyboard and a Logitech G5 Mouse. The computer will be used mostly for college studies (Really! My girlfriend will be using it for her homework or whatever those college kids do) and gaming (I'm actually getting this instead of an XBox 360 because I've convinced my girlfriend that this computer I have right now just wont cut it), It should also be KNOWN that I will most likely be using a dual monitor set up, and most likely be throwing in two video cards. So, will all you computer genius guys go ahead and review this build, if you'd like, and tell me if all the little parts that I STILL don't know about line up? Now, I would obviously like some input/suggestions, and some help deciding on a video card.

Edit: As for the OS, since my girlfriend will most likely confused if I go the way of Linux, lol, I will most likely be going with windows. Not Vista though, because from what I hear, its still got a lot of bugs, and I've heard that its not really mature enough for a build like this. G11/G5 combo - great choice.
I have the G5 and it rocks, and I've heard nothing but good things about the G11, am considering it myself.
Now, onto the wish list *flexes fingers*:
Case: looks good but check the reviews.  Some people are saying it's flimsy.
Motherboard: consider one supporting a 1333Mz FSB to get the most out of your CPU.
Video card: I'd discount the GTS.  My advice is either an 8600GT, or an 8800GT.  The 8800 is a lot more powerful, but also more expensive.  However, it won't need upgrading for a while.
PSU: Looks fine, plenty of power.
CPU: For the same price, get a QUAD core.
RAM: Get 2x2Gb instead of 4x1Gb.  Better upgrade options as you'll have some FREE slots.
Optical drive: Consider a SATA model instead, for better cable management.

Finally, also give thoughts to you OS, you haven't mentioned it and it's one of the most important things.I also have the G5 but have the G15 k/board instead, but all logitech hardware rocks IMO!  As for a graphics card you must definatly go for the 8800gt or if money is no object then the 8800 ultra, you have made the right choice than going for an xbox360 my friend!  the latest PC games are excellent the moment, let the good times roll.......lol.
