Ok I'm totally new to this kinda stuff and dont know all the cpu terms and shit, but i need a new cpu so my friends told me to start building my own. I'm a casual gamer and love to watch videos, picture or w/e so i need something that can run those kinda apps smoothly so i thought why not build my own? and so far i got these parts.

So what i need help with is the rest of the parts to make a decent/good cpu to play games and videos and multi task. I also need opinions about the parts i choose and see if they are good or if they would even work together. All comments are welcome =D

Get an 8800GTS if possible...

Check out the Q6600 for some heavier multitasking..

SLi Mobos are an waste if you dont SLi...
 
oh nice, but i was wondering, i friend just told me that amd is better so i would need a amd2 socket, but this is for intel since its socket 775, which one is better for games and media stuff?
