I'm going to get a (K) Q6600 thanks. :3

Do you think with the Q6600 3.2GHz and the GTX 460 and 650 watts and 5 gb ram will be good for gaming?

Where are you planing on getting a processor?

 

[Julian]

[jonnyp11]

what psu did you get, and those are the right sites, he was just chcking to make sure you weren't going to an overpriced bs site

Looking around you could probably find a Core 2 quad 9000 series cheaper.

ok that's good, just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to blow up and take the system with it.

 

[Julian]

Do you think with that wattage, graphics card, and processor I can play GTA SA and record with 60 stable fps? And play gta iv with decent fps and record with decent fps?
