Ok this this is going to be sweet.  I have been planning on buying this for a while now, and it is coming!  Just ordered it 10 minutes ago.  Thanks for all the advice from you guys in the forums.  Your advice influenced my decisions alot.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40ghz

Gigabyte GA-965-DQ6, Socket 775 Intel P965 Chipset

Mushkin EM PC2-6400 2GB CL5-5-5-12 DDR2 RAM

Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200.10 8MB 8.5ms SATA2 NCQ Hard Drive

Hiper Type R 580W ATX 12V V2

EVGA E-GEFORCE 7900GT KO Video Card

Thermaltake Shark Case

DVD-ROM drive

It set me back $2000 canadian...thats alot but worth it


a future purchase will be an Acer 22inch widescreen monitor.

I'm putting this thing together myself with the help of a friend, but I think I can do it.

That processor is about as fast as the fastest AMD you can currently get but for around $350. Oh, and it burns 65watts of power.

Yup, I've seen these hitting 400mhz FSB and higher without breaking a sweat.

It's just that I read somewhere that some early samples weren't clocking too far, but maybe they will sort it.
