Get a 250GB Western Digital SATA 3.0 believe its on sale at newegg for around $110. Don't forget arctic silver 5 and windows if needed. OTher than that it looks good.

Thanks. I completely forgot about thermal paste. I already have windows. Thanks!

Since you will be getting an SLi motherboard, you should take that advantage and buy another 6600 GT.

drunkbum222 · 09-09-2005, 10:53 PM

If your going to put in two cards. I would upgrade that just because the 6600GT is good but its not great.

Vampiric Rouge · 09-09-2005, 11:07 PM

It looks pretty good.

Not great?

Do you even know what he intend to do with the system?

For all you know that 6600GT could be seriously overkill.

if you choose an sli board then most likely ur gonna be gaming, i would go with a 6800gt over 2x 6600gt's, that way in the future you can get 2 of the 6800gt's, and it can last you longer into the future.

I'm going to assume the box is a gaming box and in light of that I would consider jacking the videocard from a 6600GT class to a 6800GT class. If money is an issue, drop the motherboard down to the NF4Ultra-D model and the CPU to the 3500+ (same clock, less cache but then again AMD chips never been cache-bound)

Well there's SATA 3GBs and SATA II ... never quite heard of SATA 3.0
