I won't comment on what wiw said, but for once osmethne is cheaper in Canada, get the X2 6000+ for 5 $ less... But of course you also need to consider a different mobo for an AMD processor.

I somehow agree with him... although I am surely not a reference for that matter.... I just wonder at times how big of a difference AMD and Intel can be for non-OCer.
 
kk, ill think it over for the processor, other then that, any comments on the other pieces, is it good build in general?
 
Not sure how it works if u order from dell us for a GPU, besides I can't even see it, but besides that it looks quite fine. Of course, I would tend to choose another PSU, just for the sake of choosing one that is really well known as an excellent product... but then again, urs is probably fine too.
 
look pretty good...
what graphics card are you using?
what is the system being used for mostly?
in this case the comparable AMD model to the e6550 has an unlocked multiplier hence is better for OC'ing

Click to expand...

I'd go with Western Digital... But still...

Look at the P180 and the Antec 900...

A Data Extreme, and Patriot Extreme Performance (38.99 AR)

Look for the E6750 on Newegg...

Those burners without lightscribe are $27.99...

P31-DS3L fits these needs... none over 4GB of RAM that is...

Might switch to the GameXStream 700w... Only a bit more.
 
oh ya the vid card isnt showin up
but if ur planning on spending 240 on the vid card or however much it was i assumed u wer getting like an 8600GTS or something
 
Go with AMD? That's a good laugh. I would go with an Nvidia 8800 GT or ATI 3870 if the nvidia is out of your price range. I don't know anything bout stealth's PSUs. So other than that, it looks like a good build. You might wanna wait till Jan to buy a Wolfdale dual core instead. :D
