My Build

[raiders_best]

personally i would, u get the extra multiplier and get a extra 0.27ghz, if ur overclocking, but if ur tight on cash.

 

[Higach]

well 30 bucks isnt a big deal at all but im just trying to limit the 30 bucks here, 20 bucks here, etc and end up going from 800 to 1200 bucks lol.. I just didnt know if it was as good of an overclocker as the 3600.. also should i go to the fsp 450W or is the 400W gonna be fine?

A froton 400w should be fine even if you upgrade to a mid range dx10 card like i suggested. All the 6400 gives you is a higher multiplier making it easier to overclock.

So this is the final build with shipping if i go 2 gigs and 6400 and lowering to 7900gs

I think what im gonna do though is buy 1 gig first and get 2 gigs later, but keeping the 6400, making it go down to about 820 final... sounds good

I would get the corsair xms2 ddr2 800 instead of the patriot ram. And Ive got two sony dvd burners, and i wish i had gone with lite on. They make funny noises after a while but they still work though.

Other then that...sweet build .
