Great CPU and Motherboard, they will work nicely together. I have the same mobo and an e6400.
I would recommend these 'upgrades' psu- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371007 case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129152 Buy one more 120 tricool fan to slap in that case. GPU upgrade: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150216 The GT are much better, I think all these up grades are affordable. It is'nt much more and I think you will be very pleased. My choice for dvd drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106049 As far as what you have now, it will work, but if you wanted advice there you go. Also, that motherboard you have is excellent for overclocking, if you want more performance, look into. However, if you plan to overclock get an aftermarket HSF. Just buy Vista, home premium for builders is as much as xp pro.

thanks for you input......however i wasnt looking to spend much over 1100, and will i really need another 120mm fan if i get that case? or will it just overheat without it? Also im not convinced with vista yet, i have tried it and i dont know, so i think im gonna stick with xp......does home vs. pro make a huge difference?
Also any ideas for sound cards? Last edited by kgordon; 02-07-2007 at 09:25 PM. |

Buy a crappy video card for now and then get the 8600 Ultra which is the same price. It should be out in like a month. That way you have a DX10 card that should be better(hopefully.)
