I decided its about time for a new build so im selling mine and building another one. I have a new 7950gt graphics card that i plan to use so thats covered. So does anyone know what the best stuff I could get for about $800 because thats about all i have to spend i could go a little over but I dont really want to. The only real requirments I have are that I want a core 2 duo. So what do you guys think are the best option based on what I want and the money I have? I thought about buying a barebones i found for $400 and building around that but ive read on here that barebones arent a very good deal.

id get the combo, I was gonna get that myself.

Uh Lol but the dvd drive links to ram.

Also id change that psu and get soemthing way better especially with a quad.
 
No bad, but i wouldn't buy a rosewill for that build, at least a corsair 450W if no the 520/550w one.

Here are better brands for hdd than itachi aka seagate or western other than that the build is fine
 
Ok thanks ill prolly change those two, so should i get the duo i selected or the quad, im feeling the quad because one its a quad and two because it takes my price down $50 also.

Nice RAM DVD Player!

HDD - LOLZ (sorry :P) Deskstar is also know as the deathstar. High dying change. Very high. From the older to newer "Deathstars"

RAM - XMS2 DDR2-800 Corsair 2GB is $41 after rebates

Motherboard - Big ripoff, especially since no use for the SLi anyways.

GFX - What? Gaming without an GFX? Great idea! :rolleyes: ;)

CPU - ClubIT has the Q6600 for $273... which is better?

2.4 x4 cores or 3 x2 cores?

PSU - Not bad, but I'd go for an 550W Rosewill SLi Capable PSU. Great one that is. Otherwise, the OCZ GameXStream 700W

Case - Stinks. Get Securemart's $75 Antec 900
 
Alright ive got my setup chosen for the most part im getting the above with 3 changes. Im getting a 320 seagate because i dont really need more i have 250 now and im only usin like 1/4 of it. Im also getting a corsair 450w and I am getting a new case my buddy has that i can get pretty cheap prolly so I think its about time to order my stuff. One more question though, what is the difference in vista home premuim OEM version from the retail version?

I would have to agree with oscaryu1, the case you choose is not a very good one. For less money you can get a much better case like the one oscaryu1 picked, the antec 900 from securemart.com for $75. It is a very highly rated case for gamers, and it has all the fans you could want.

The case you choose is just cheap, I did not like anything about it. But, it's your choice.

Yeah im not getting it. Im either getting my buddys extra that he has because of a mix up or the antec 900

Antec 900 will be the best case you'll ever buy. (aside from bigger cases with alot more fans :P) but this case should do perfectly fine in any condition.
