Get the Q6600, just overclock it if necessary. It's more than enough for most things anyway.

[rag!ncontag!n]

ok Q6600 it is. should i go for the two 8800 gt? and can someone please find me a mobo im gonna bash my head in...

[[SF]Sgt.twig*]

You don't really need two GPU's (video cards) unless you want really good performance.

If you want two 8800 GT 's then you need to get a motherboard that has two PCI x16 Slots. The mobo you posted only has one. If you want to go SLI then I recommend this mobo:

If anyone can top this go right ahead.

Now remember, this is only if you want the most performance but for a price.

[rag!ncontag!n]

The only reason i would be willing to pay a stack of money is because all the computers i have ever had were just crap. Its been a long time coming but im ready to not have to deal with all that.

[Y/9|Rya.Estel]

I've never heard of the brand of the case or monitor, so unless I found out more, I'd be wary of them, especially the power supply.
If you're going to overclock, make sure you get the G0 stepping Q6600.
Wow, that RAM is so cheap :o

Get this case it rocks

Not bad, except the mobo doesn't support SLI, so the 2 gfx cards are useless.:)
Get the Striker Extreme instead... a few $$ more:

I got 8800gt, im gonna wait till 9000 series comes out before getting a second one though, the 8800gt's have already dropped about $30 in the past 2 weeks (about £15 as i'm in UK).
So in a couple of months it'll be alot cheaper.

The case is sexy got one of those aswell, and i got same Processer, clocked to a nice 3.6Ghz, could upto about 4.0Ghz, but tends to overheat quite abit then.


Have a look at getting 2x2Gb RAM, its usually abit cheaper, and then you can always look at getting 8Gb at a later date if you wish. If you get 1Gb stick unless you mobo has more slots your limited to 4Gb.

[VonBarter]

go with GIGABYTE mother board more bang for the buck. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...d/Default.aspx
