My First PC build

[CampStaff]

I'm on a mini vacation from the cheating scene.

Reason is because I'm in process of a new pc build.

A few people are helping me find the right parts.
But I want your opinion as to what I should/would get.
As I see it, ( my first build mind you ) I can do this for under $600.

Case
Motherboard - Intel based
CPU - Intel
Heatsink/Heatsink Fan
Power Supply
Opitical Drive
Hard Drive
RAM
Speakers
LCD monitor

What would be a good choice for these?

What purpose is the PC for? Can you buy from newegg?

What purpose is the PC for? Can you buy from newegg?

Purpose is to play games first, and multimedia..
Yes, I can buy from newegg. People keep posting newegg links to me about certain PC components, is newegg like the super warehouse on the internets?

All I need is a good pc, scratch LCD from that list, I can't afford it.
So if you all can post nice lists of parts you are familiar with, and that you know work, I appreciate it.

NOW.. this leaves a video card ( have a 7900GT currently, RAM
may upgrade to :

RAM ** 59.30

Mushkin 996612 HP PC2-8500 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit

, and other smaller accessories for me to think over later.
I'm really leaning to the 1TB My Book Home Edition.
IF.. I can't get it ( it's ebay'n for about $120), then my next choice is the 500GB internal. Or a 500GB external next.

So, how's this look? Its under $500, I basically used different lists people offered and did my own price comparisons.it

/me *spreads my arms out wide in glee*

I'm typing to you from the new pc setup. I have OS problems atm, so till I get that fixed, I'm laying low. I had to format my old HDD, so I have nothing, was smart enough to backup my Firefox and smaller apps ( VLC, Pidgin, etc ) and Steam !!!

Speaking of Steam.. TWO ****ING HUNDRED FPS MAKES ME CRY OUT LOUD, WILDLY!!!
Literally guys.. I'm dieing here from the love of this card. THANKS DIRTYD!

Ill check in over time, but I got to find drivers, apps and make a backup now while this install is still fresh.

To everyone who posted.. Thanks for all your help. I can't express right now what all this means to me.
