Okay, so I don't really love taxes, but the tax return is nice. After all it is finally going to let me have the money I need to upgrade my system for the first time in 5 years. I've been looking around and was hoping someone could give me some input on the parts I've selected for my upgrade.
Before anyone asks, I already have a DVD Burner and 3 hard drives which total about 570GBs, which I hope will be more than enough storage for the near future. I also have a very nice silver Thermaltake Armor case in which I intend to craft my new machine.

I was thinking about going with a q6600, and I might still, if only because they're easier to find. I'm just not entirely sure Ill use all 4 cores to their fullest potential with what I'm going to be doing (gaming mostly).
If anybody notices anything I left out that is important or any potential conflicts that I missed please point them out, id like this to go as painlessly as possible once I get all the parts in.
