looks good.

but, i'd switch the GPU with a 8800GT or 8800GTS 512mb. just my suggestion.

 

[Interested]

save your coins and get the e8400. if you can, go at least 8800GT. Love the case, i have the blue version..

 

[reddevil6]

yea get a E8400 an 8800GT\S

Thanks guys for your input on this matter one thing tho isn't the 9600gt faster than the 8800gt.

 

[Cleric7x9]

no, the 8800GT is faster. definitely get the e8400 and the 8800GT or the 8800GTS.

Correct. The 9600 was made as an altenative for the 8600. Drop the E8500, get the E8400, MSI 8800GTS G92, and Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800.
