I built this not too long ago,i'm 15 years old and this was my first build,i had no help and i didn't have to ask any questions except for specs of each piece of equipment for my PC.My graphic card isn't much and i'm not 100% sure as of right now what kind of core my processor has,but what do you think?Good and bad feedback is welcomed,suggestions and tips will help too :).
 
The gfx isent that good. Your CPU is only a single core. Also socket 939 is outdated..i woulda went wit AM2. Your RAM is average too.

Don't listen to him, its pretty good system for your first build. The 6600 isn't that bad of a card, the le hurts it some but still not horrible. I have a socket 939 cpu as well, 3700+ though, looks like you have already done some overclocking. Nice job.
 
Yeah i played with Overclocking,i don't plan on seriously doing it as of yet because i'm a little low on cash for a good cooling system at the moment,And the LE..yeah its not a very good card,i'm happy with it as of right now,i had to pay for it with my own cash and as a 15 year old,it was kinda hard :).Its a budget pc and i had no idea about AM2 plus the AM2 motherboards here were very expensive.So i decided socket 939,plus it was and i think still is mainstream.

AM2 is also more expensive since it requires ddr2, seriously though, especially for a budget pc its a good system. Well rounded should be able to handle most games on low to medium settings at least.
 
Was able to run WoW,CS:Source and Guildwars at full settings without lag..and thats all i really play so i was happy.
