    Review my new gaming machine!

    Wow great post. I'm going to look into those changes. What PSU would you recommended for this build? I'll be buying a 24" monitor in about 2 weeks I was planning on OCing so I was gonna pick up a ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler - that pretty solid?

    Upgrading my RAM - Have some questions.

    Just to clarify: I have Windows XP Professional x64 Edition for my OS. So technically I could install and use 8GB of RAM, correct?

    Nice, thanks. People keep talking about the 8800GT video card, how does the 9600GT compare? How would I find out if my motherboard supports the E8400? Sorry if that's a stupid question.
