that build will have a really hard time running WoW. for your budget i would buy something used off ebay or craigslist

im getting 404s on the links

ok all the noctua heatsinks on newegg use heatpipes do i dont understand what youj mean by hybrid

from what i understand while heatpipes are less effective on vertical systems, they are still more effective than non heatpipe HSF's

looks like a nice build... do you need a dvd drive or are you using your old one? a good card to stay in your budget would be a 9800gt

4ghz takes a good air cooler. xigmatek thor's hammer is the best one you can gt on newegg. it did a little better than even the TRUE in benchmarkreview's test.

You could replace that 4GB with 2gb ddr2 800 (still overkill but useful), that x2 with an x2 4400, that psu with 380w w/ good reviews, and 9600 with 8400 512mb. you save a hair under $100 and it will play halo 1 on max settings.

by definition of "overkill" it is overkill for the game, halo for pc.

processor ram and gpu are overkill. i was saying even an 8500gt is too much. pick up an old 6800, athlon 64, and 1gig ram off ebay and it will run that game on high.

thats overkill for playing halo 1. i played halo 1 on a p4 and an x300 with decent framerates. they did slow down at times but an 8500gt would be more than enough.

its not disrespectful to say that jokingly on a forum. its disrespectful to say that when the babys born.

theres a difference between being a dick and a assertive. unless you drugged a girl and then got her pregnant its both parties responsibility. just the way it is. and in case you didnt remember, you got on and said: "I feel bad for her if she is - not because she's pregnant - because...

wow your kind of a dick... and what do you know about how much babies cost? and its his fault if shes pregnant, she wasnt there too?

ive bought open box things and never had a problem

the thor's hammer tested better than the v8 on an overvolted i7. it tested better than the TRUE also.

friggin xp.... what did i do to deserve having to use it for 6 years?

1. 4.0GHz is easily reachable on air just make sure you have a solid air cooler. the xigmatek thor's hammer is good and so is the coolermaster v8 2. make sure you get 1600mhz RAM or it will limit the overclockability of your cpu.

i have never had a an ethernet port with drivers from the OS... ever. the OP said he just installed a NEW mobo so he should have the driver disk which is the easiest way to install the ethernet driver.

not any 775 board will work with any 775 cpu. it depends on your mobo/mobo driver.

i didnt consider the pci card because the person im building a computer for wanted a motherboard with firewire built in. i guess they need the pci slots idk, but now i can provide what they want.
