Sold my laptop with the OS.. so i got another on ebay for >$60. But timmer will that build work? And on a 1-10 where will I be sitting with no overclock. What all games can I run well.
 
Thats a nice build. You will be able to play all games, just not on the very highest settings for the most demanding games.
 
Thank you truebe, ordering on newegg today. I'll let you guys all know how it goes once she is up and running.
 
$900 is a pretty good budget, I think you could do a little better. If budget works out consider:

mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152

SATA hard drive

Better memory - if you have any plans to OC

6800GT

Arctic Silver ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET) Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier
What is this for? Are you getting an aftermarked HS? This is just the remover you know, not thermal compound.
 
His memory is not even on there!

I think he should stick with the 6600, since he is on a budget. And as per Idiotec, that is not the compound. It is just a surface cleaner, and, as it says, purifier. You can use that if you want, but you still need compound. And I dont know what that kit will do that some alcohol wont.
