Hey,
I'm needing to build a new PC (the first one that I will have built myself), it'll be used for gaming/game development. I don't know much about hardware specifics though so if anyone could give any opinions before I buy the wrong thing that would be great...
At the moment in "the basket/list" I have:
Intel Q6600 - G0 Stepping
Asus P5K Deluxe WiFI Intel P35
8800GTX 768MB DDR3 OEM
Antec P182
Corsair HX 520W
Western Digital 500GB WD5000AAKS 7200RPM 16MB - *x2*
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 800MHz PC6400 Gold - *x2*
Noctua NH-U12F CPU Heatpipe Heatsink & Fan

Just something to note, I'm hoping for it to be as quiet as possible, that's why I went with the WD AAKS over the Seagate 7200.10 everybody usually recommends.
Also, if I find the stock case fans in the Antec P182 too noisy can I easily swap them out later with quieter (noctua?) ones, or would it be easier to do that from the start while building? Same with the 8800 GTX, easier to fit a HR-03 before/after?
Lastly after a few months I hope to be able to easily overclock the Q6600 to ~3GHz+ have I selected any components that would stop me being able to do so? Would I be better off getting the HX 620W for this or is 520 enough?
Sorry if any of those questions sound stupid, hopefully my first build will still go well though.
Thanks!
Oh, also the monitor will be a 2407WFP-HC if that matters.
