Pretty nice build overall. Make sure you take into account what people have said though.

And i take it a Q6600 would fit ok onto the motherboard? Also i've been reading articles on how to build pc's and ive read about thermal paste with processors. What's thermal paste and why is it needed?

Thanks a lot. When looking at a better cpu, what would you reccomend?

Yup, i understand what you're saying. How about if saved up for a 8800gts, would that make a big difference?

Well i'm used to gaming on a console. That being PS3 Xbox 360. Will i be dissapointed by what the games will look like on the PC?

FP games and such are what i would be playing yes. If the sapphire is better for them, then sure ill go for that. Would this be able to handle Cod4 with AA?

Thanks a lot. Wouldn't this card be better? Newegg.com - MSI NX8600GT-T2D256E OC GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail Also, would that card fit ok in the build?

I'm looking for a decent gaming build for not much over $500. I've seen this price based around articles on the net but most of them are dated and so I'd rather not trust them. I'm thinking of games like COD 4, Unreal Tournament etc. Now I understand i'm not going to get some insane frame rate...
