System Configuration

[BAD AI]

I recently made a topic about what I should upgrade first, and basically you guys said EVERYTHING!.... so I decided that I should judt buy a new computer and while looking around I found that the formfactor LAN cases looked cool, so I based this whole projest around that
I NEED YOUR COMMENTS!

6600 = no, 6600GT = mmm good
DFI board
You dont need 2 gigs of memory. Dont get Value Ram...
Venice Core

Might as well say it just as everyone else has... Venice core. Also, if you've got money left to spend, might as well upgrade to the 6800GT. Or, if you are patient, you can wait until the G70s come out and the price on the other cards will drop.

you have no idea what you're talking about

value ram works fine if you're not OCing

a venice core would be nice, but not necessary

a 6600gt is necessary, since the vanilla 6600 sucks; there's no such thing as more memory giving advantages to better video cards

yea scrap the 2 gigs of ram.

The case requires a Standard Micro ATX or Baby AT. Will the motherboard you guys are talking about compatible
