This is just a little something i threw together that'd be a pretty sweet build i think ....... leme know your comments/suggestions .... i may be doing this for real next year but maybe wit a 9 series card and compliant mobo

 

[Deadpixel]

I suggest this Ram

With the Video card, I would suggest Evga 8800GTX

For power supply get the PCPC Silencer 610

 

[DawnOfDoom]

eh i dont think the ram and the 768mb GTX is worth the money but i will concider that PSU ..... looks pretty sweet.... only thing that really gripes me about it is that its not modular but eh its okay

 

[mgcook]

get a p5k deluxe

and crucial ballistix ram

uhh y Q6600? I know it's cheap but i thought it's just 2 E6600 stuck together making it not a true quad-core?

 

[UA_Iron]

I'd go with peterhuang's suggestions.

You can get this BFG tech vid card for 509.99 after rebate

Sometimes, motherboards just can support two CPUs... And I think the q6600 is a true quad core.

what makes Crucial Balistix ram better than A-Data's?
