Hey For 1440, I suggest you hold on the video card, and wait for the 8800GT. It can be almost as got as a GTX!

It is looking good if you want to save some money order the Corsair 520HX at clubit.com for 80 dollars.

oh ya... its coming out in exactly 1 week.... ^

Wait though u said to get the Tuniq Tower 120.....


Ok thank you for your help

yes for the e6750 get the AF7, its more than enough.. for the q6600 you need a Tuniq because it dispenses so much heat..... but i'm sure that the Zalman isn't as great as the Tuniq Tower 120...

ok i just found this which is what i will use
XFX GeForce 8800 GTS Video Card - Fatal1ty Edition, FREE Lost Planet: Extreme Condition PC Game, 320MB DDR3, PCI Express, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, Video Card PVT80GG1D4 at TigerDirect.com

and I alrdy have the PSU, i just made the list at newegg, but i will probably order from clubit.com

 

[veg1992]

wow... weren't they out of stock this morning?

cuz my pal wanted one of those... but ya... get one... wow they restock fast!!

 

[fluidman]

ya super-duper clocked lol

 

[veg1992]

ya... that thing can perform with a 8800gtx.....

imagine how great it will be if you had a second one which performs with an Ultra (i know regular ones do)

 

[fluidman]

haha ya only problem with that is $$$$

and with ordering parts clubit.com or newegg.com??

 

[veg1992]

ya.. just a hypothetical example tho...

 

[fluidman]

true
and where do you order your parts?

 

[veg1992]

well i haven't build a system in about a year... but but i got in trouble.. grades slipped.. so i'm back to p4 system

but for cases: go to Zipzoomfly since they have shipping for free
ClubIT: Get your q6600 from there... $266 is really cheap for an OEM one..
Newegg: for pretty much everything else
