what are the things you guys recommend i use in my gaming PC that i will eventually buy the parts for and make?

Those two things doesn't jive that well for a gaming PC. As if Vista wasn't bad enough as it is for games not built for it the 64-bit version makes things even worst. There's reports of games either crashing, not running at all, or running slower in the 64-bit Vista environment vs 32-bit Vista environment. If you want to reduce compatibility problems considerably the best choice is to go with the 32-bit version of Vista and live with 3.25GB - 3.5GB of RAM.
