In short 790i, 2Gb of DDR3 (looks like good DDR3 Nick, or Vokda?), Q6700 Quad core (will save up and get a Q9300 45nm faster cooler), 600wt PSU(looks crappy might need to get a new one), Seagate 320 7200RPM HDD, all in a Ultra Black Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side, will get an OS, CPU cooler, and I already have the VGA.

I already have one now. My 8800GTS came and I'll use my old 8600GTS until I save up to by a 8 or 9 series card. Plus a monitor and keyboard/mouse. I thik my dad willget me a monitor and I'll get the keyboard.

The memory speed is GARBAGE

1333 9-9-9-27 makes it about as fast as any DDR2 533 tower


That needs to be upgraded if you wish to see any benefit to DDR3

Eh, that's what I though, I think I'll live with it until I save up enough to buy good DDR3. Nick, in your opinon, is there a brand of DDR3 that is 'good' I've had my eye on the CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) or The mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1800 (PC3 14400)

I am running OCZ Reaperx DDR3 1333 (pc3 10666) and am happy with it. I am sure there is better memory but for what
