This is my future computer but theres a few parts im not sure
what to choose.

CASE- Zalman Z-MACHINE GT1000 or Antec Nine Hundred Black More Info or More Info 2
MOTHERBOARD- ?
CPU- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 More Info
GRAPHICS CARD- MSI GeForce 8800GT 512MB More Info
PSU- Antec True Power Trio More Info
RAM- CORSAIR Dominator 2GB More Info
HARDRIVE- 2x Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 7200 RPM More Info
DVD DRIVE- ?

am i missing anything? would these part work together fine?
im having unterstanding about the motherboard and grahics card
for the motherboard does it have to be compatible with the cpu?
is 600W PSU strong enough?
im going for a quiet pc, im using it mostly watching movies and
abit of games such as cs 1.6, bf2, dota and any online game.

DO NOT GET THAT CASE! DO NOT GET THAT POWER SUPPLY...

Did you even check the prices of both of those things? Just because they cost alot doesn't mean there good! you have to understand the price/performace ratio...

Anyway, this is a good PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371001

if u have anything to replace then just tell me.

edit; the only reason i choose that case cause thie features inside are cool and its a known as a very quiet case. if u know a better one with no doors then tell me

For the case, I would choose an Antec P180 (Antec P180) or the Antec Nine Hundred (you guys help him choose, I'm a budget builder; Antec Nine Hundred)

For the graphics card, choose an 8800GT (with a dual slot cooler, like this one-ultra bargain too: MSI GeForce 8800GT quad copper pipe cooling) or a NEW 9600GT (9600GT).

9600GT should be good, a mid-range card that outperforms ATi's flagship models in most real-world applications.

If you are going to buy an 8800GT, buy one with a dual slot cooler, so your card doesn't get too hot.

I meant the cooler on the card; as for the case, I don't know. DBi doesn't really matter when you have headsets on at high.
