I am going to be building a new computer at the end of july and would like some imput. It's going to be used for mid to high gaming. I am trying to keep it at least somewhat affordable.
CPU: Waiting for intel's price drop. Going to go for e6600 or e6750
Mobo: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ
HDD: Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Sound: Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
The only things I am having trouble with are the video card, PSU, and case.
Video card I was originally thinking 8600, but would it be better to spend the extra cash for an 8800?
The case I am having some trouble deciding, just needs good airflow, as I am going to be looking into overclocking.
