I don't have much time to post but will say what I can right now.

You can get an awesome video card for under $300. That DIAMOND 4870X2PE52GXOC Radeon HD 4870 video card is way too expensive.

This case is also better priced:

it is where you change the cup speed (to cut it very short), but if you are not into it then i wouldn't worry

The Q6600 is rather outdated now, so even though it can be at 2.8GHz, the 9550 at 2.8GHz will still be faster.
