i noticed the tiny hard drive. speakers - www.creative.com

Them logitech speakers are nice Z640s are a nice set too. A comment about the 6600GT ... be aware that 6600GTs have HS-setting problems (which lead to potential heat issues)

 

[ripken2004]

explain some more?

 

[Praetor]

It means your 6600GT may overheat. A bit of reading has me noting that the MSI one is the most likely contender for overheating problems. Of course that was a few weeks back they might have had it fixed

 

[ripken2004]

any other suggestions then for about the same price, 200$

That is too long for me to spend time reading all of it, but what I did read was interesting

Hmmmmm, depends what you want to do with it. IF you are OCing, stay with a solid mobo. If not, yes, I guess you could go down a little

how about GeForce 6800GT?

It's a good choice for the price vs performance.
