Advice

[jmoak]

Here is my new build, let me know what you guys think. Any advice would be great. I lowered the PSU and Video card due to the fact that i'm not a hardcore PC gamer. I would rather play on my 360. Anyways let me know if I missed something. I already have a keyboard,mouse and monitor.

You can't post links to your Shopping cart. doesn't work, you'll have to take a screenshot or link individually.

Looks good, nothing missing.

The P35 DS3 is a mother of an overclocking board and that Quad is sweet.

Cool, thanks. I was thinking about going with a 8800 GTS just to max it all out . If I do that will the 520W psu be enough? Or should I go with the 620W? Also do you think I will need a VGA cooler? Or should I be ok?

A 8800gts would be great.. It would help the graphics bottleneck you have with that 8600gt. The 520w should be sufficient for it too.

By VGA cooler do you mean a Fan on the video card or an external PCI slot cooling device? You wouldn't need any external cooling, the fan on the GPU is quite enough.

get a 8800 GTS, get the corsair 520w from buy.com since is 99$ plus free shipping and the rest is fine

Looks solid... I love my Western Digital hard drives but people seem to like the seagates now... I like the samsung version of that dvd burner more too... those are kind of just personal preferences the build still looks great as is. (8800gts would make it even better lol)
