HDD - Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II
RAM - Kingston 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Memory Non-ecc CL5 Unbuffered 1.8V (im getting 2 of these so its 4 gb)
Motherboard - Asus P5N32-E SLI
PSU - OCZ StealthXStream 600W PSU
Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

I would just like to ask if all these parts are compatible iv looked through them and they seem it too me id just like to confirm they are (dont wana order them all to find out they dont fit) and also if i have missed out any major things. And give me your opinions on the system

Thanks

Yes! everything you have listed is compatible. I would consider a different brand of Ram though. Go with Geil Skill or Crucial for Ram.
Other than that looks like a solid build to me.

It looks good to me also. I myself would probably get something with a little more wattage, just to be safe. But I own that PSU, and I'm sure it would run everything good.

Nice system!

A personal preference of mine is to usually drop a line on board manufacturer's forum asking for ram recomendation for particular build. PSU recomendation for specific build doesn't hurt either.

I think i might just do that just to be safe and i was just wondering the graphics card is DDR3 and the RAM im getting is DDR2 will that matter? also i wanted to know the 9800GTX im getting takes 2x 6 pin power inputs but on the power supply i want http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127861 i cant find if it has 2x 6 pin power inputs also is the psu enough to run the 9800?

Doesn't sound like ebuyer is very reputable. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Ebuyer_UK

The OCZ SteathxStream has 2x 6 pins plugs. I'm looking at both of them right now!

That doesnt sound too good :S is there any other good places i can get parts from in england?

Well yea every thing looks good , but i will advice you to increase your ram , make it at-least 4. gb

Everything looks good except that I wouldn't recommend a sli board, for one, for less than the price of two 9800gtx's you could get the gx2, and for two, intel chipsets are better for overclocking than nvidia. I like this one, ddr3, 1600 fsb, it is $150, but it will be a good board, it that is too pricey I would go the p35 ds3l, I have been running it for a while, a really solid board though (around $100).
