Does anyone see any problems/suggestions for this before I buy on saturday? I'm going to keep the 6600GT for a while then upgrade later.

I'm also looking for a decent heatsink (under 80 dollars) to overclock the X2 to at least 2.2 Ghz (case only supports 3 fans)

NOTE: This is the first system I'm building. So If i'm missing any cables or anything, please say so. As far as I know, the items listed here are the only things I'm buying (and monitor)

I'd switch the processor to a 3700+ San Diego and use the extra money to get a 6800GT.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm going dual core.

I'll check out the heatsink


EDIT: err, that looks huge lol. Does the motherboard need to be flat on the floor? or will it work even if it's on it's side?

Looks sweet, make sure you upgrade the 6600GT soon, though.

I'm not really too worried about graphics right now. Main game I'm going to play is WoW (more ram intensive)

That tigerdirect site you linked to looks like it could possibly be a fake you know..... Unless Tigerdirect.com changed in the past few months

Although that case is really cool, the X-Connect Modular PSU sucks the big one. Modular PSU's look cool and add a modding touch but they really suck as power supplies. Don't be fooled by the listing of 500 watts... Don't get me wrong, that PSU will get you by right now. But, don't plan on OCin' that rig very much. And modular PSU's have a fair amount of resistance. The pins aslo break, burn and corroide very easily.

Also, you're getting a SATA HDD and that PSU doesn't come with SATA power plugs.

 

[nezzari]

Haha, I didn't even notice the TigerDirect site.


Hmm, sigh, I thought I was saving money by going with that case + PSU combo >.< Does anyone know a similar deal that supports decent Hard Drive?

 

[nezzari]

Hmmm, some people said that their's did come with satta connecters
