I'll be ordering my parts on the 22nd, this is my tentative rig...

nah the corsair 520w would be a great choice. stick with the samsung screen and the 7200.1 HDD

also you could look into this power supply, im using this one on my build

Newegg.com - Rosewill RP550V2-D-SL 550W SLI Ready-ATX 12V V2.01 Power Supply 115/230 V CSA,UL,TUV - Retail

not good enough to power up his system (well its enough to power it up, not enough to keep it going)

 

[mgcook]

how will it not power the computer? i'm using it on my PC. and its almost exactly like his

That Rosewill RP550, does have enough power for that system.

Another suggestion, that is cheaper than the Corsair, but just as powerful and stable, is the XClio GREATPOWER 550w.

Ok, I've got a question about the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7. It says it will fit the core 2 duo, but will it fit the quad?

Yes, but if your planning on overclocking it, it just wont suffice, the cooling wont be strong enough. If you do OCa quad, then get the Tuniq Tower 120.

I'm quite new to the game of custom PC'ing so I don't really know the first thing about overclocking. Can you get a substantial increase in performance power from oc'ing? Would it be worth getting the Tuniq Tower so that I can OC?

4 cores @ 2.4Ghz and only a 8800GTS?
