do you really need a 8800GTX? i'd step down to a 320MB unless you are running a HUGE resolution

i'd either grab a Gigabyte DS3R or a MSI P6N Platinum mobo

Why is he getting the 680i nforce mobo? Is he going to SLI? If not I don't think its worth it. What does the MSI P6N platinum mobo have over the giga-DS3R?
 
Im going with this MB because it comes as a combo deal with the Q6600 for about $550. The MB alone is worth around $220 so that makes the Q6600 sit at about $330. I can't see it dropping any lower than that for the July 22nd price-reduction. Or am I wrong?

well its q6600 is supposed to drop to 266 come July 22nd ( a week away ), 266 + 220 = $486, you can save yourself 64 bucks if you can wait a week. Also if your not going to SLI, then the nforce 650 and 680 boards are definately not for you. the P35-DS3R can overclock further then the nforce 650 and 680 mobos.
 
I cant find that gigabyte mobo at tigerdirect. How about this.

A455-2322 :: Asus P5N-E SLI NVIDIA Socket 775 ATX Motherboard / Audio / PCI Express / Gigabit LAN / S/PDIF / USB 2.0 & Firewire / Serial ATA / RAID (3.2 lbs) $186.99
 
wow, not a bad deal. just be careful buying that on ebay. make sure its from someone with a good user rating and a long history or you don't know what you are getting.
