sup yall's wantin some feedback on the new comp i'm gonna build round christmas time. the c2d is set in stone, but the other parts im open to changing :) hoping to keep the price before shipping around $500, or a little(reeeeal little) more. rebates are fine, i always send them in. the rig:

$183 Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115005

$89 3D Fuzion Geforce 7600GS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143054

$97 Patriot Signature 1GB DDR2 667
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220145

$30 APEVIA 500W Power Supply 34a on the 12v rails
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817148027

$55(not so sure)ABIT SG-95 Socket T (LGA 775) SiS 662 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813127012

any case ideas, round $40-$50?

with a $46 case that's exactly $500


any good ideas for a good hsf? i'm prolly gonna keep stock for awhile but suggestions are welcome.
 
i don''t have an absolute final really, i just will have to wait longer to get the money, so it won't be a new year rig. i guess the max would prolly be $550 plus shipping. it's gonna be used for heavy multitasking and mid range gaming.

edit
i like that case :D
looks like it has enough 5.25 inchers, i hated my lanboy's 3. 5 would be very welcome. also looks to have enough hd space, 4's good for me. i can't find anything i don't like about that case :D

*drools* i think i spy toolless pci slots

Thoughts? THat is one of the most unbalanced systems that I have ever seen....having a C2D with those parts isn't going to be great.

any ideas then? maybe i should get a higher end a64 or an x2 and better parts to support it?

Its not going to be crap either,a C2D e6300 isnt a very expensive cpu, but it packs performance,your other parts are lacking compared to it...but i personally think its still a pretty good setup,its unbalanced but for midrange gaming and multi tasking,it looks fine,especially for 500 dollars.Bobo i think you took it a little far with the most unbalanced system ever,it isnt that unbalanced. And he can always upgrade it later on with better things like a new graphic card,more ram,new cpu and all that bologna.

EDIT 2:Save a bit more cash and get a better motherboard,thats all i'd suggest.

thats what i was thinkin, just didn't want to wait. would it be a good idea to just use my old case(or some cheap $10 one)and use the $45 to buy a better mobo? i'm no good at finding a mobo, any suggestions?

EDIT
man your rig is awesome chickenwing...

I said that I had ever seen. ;) I didn't even know that they made C2D motherboards that cheap....

a 10 dollar case tends to have poor air circulation,made out of ppoor material..and overall is very poor.What case do you have currently?

And thanks.

Yea, he couldnt really upgrade much with the motherboard he chose, so he would want a better one. :P
