    Go for a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and a Hiper 580W GT-R for power supply. Both good midrangers.

    You could go for the basic X-Fi if you want

        you mean a cable modem?

        or an "old school" v.92 telephone modem?--most motherboards (edit: oops, just noticed your's doesn't) still have these integrated, if not you can get one for $.17 (ok, maybe $.17 plus a ten-spot) at any local electronics store. all it needs to say is 56k v.92 with a PCI interface. any brand will do. watch out though--if you plan on putting in a high end gpu, the fan might overlap your PCI slot, and if you want to put in a sound card later...well...you might be running out of open PCI slots.

        have you considered getting a modem with a USB interface? something like:

            Something like that...
            Only because the e6300 has a lower clock than the e6600.

            Thats like saying an Opty 144 overclocks better than a 146. Which is only because the 144 is clocked slower. In the end, the overall overclocked speed and it's stability is what matters. For a better, more stable overclock, that you can full utilize, the e6600 is the way to go.

              I need a new case also, I am going buy a cheap case now but I need to know if this case is a p.o.s. or if its just a good deal.
              Case


              Last thing I can think of for now is what do I need to put usb/audio ports in the front of my computer.
              Keep in mind to use dx10 you will have to run vista. XP will not have DX10 Support.

                darn. did you see my thread from a couple of days ago?



                looks like they've sold out for now.

                edit, i see you already have a psu picked out? if so, you can get the same case (350W psu included) cheaper here:
