I plan on putting together a new box in 3 or 4 months so im in the research stage at the moment and this is what i have so far...

CPU- E6600 Conroe (id like to OC to 3.4)
Mobo- Evga Nvidia nforce 680i SLI (good OCer from what ive read)
Video Card- Obviously a dx10 card not sure which one.
Memory- Corsair ddr2-800 pc6400 dual channel kit 2gb (good memory for OC?)
Hard Drives- WD Raptor 150 (for Vista) Seagate 7200.10 320gb (for storage)
PSU- OCZ Gamexstream 600w (72a combined on 12v)
Sound- Creative SB xi-fi
Case- Antec P180B (ive read that this case isnt newbie friendly, itll be my first build ever)
CPU Cooler- Need recommendation here.
 
looks pretty good, but times will change in 4 months :eek:
I'm planning for a build about that time, looks similar :p
 
Drop the OCZ Power supply (rails DO NOT ADD UP) and try something like a Silverstone ST56ZF ($110 or so at eastluna) or a Corsair HX 520 (Under $90 using google pay at buy.com and some other things, jonnyguru.com for details)

the p180 will be fine.
 
Go with a Sunbeam Tuniq Tower, Scythe Ninja, or Zalman 9500/9700. Don't forget some AS5.
 
not much to say about the build except stay current on new hardware coming out ATI R600 DX10 card should be out in the next 3-4 months, also where are you from? I'm currently going to school in Lincoln, by your name I would assume you are from Nebraska.
 
should get at least 8500 ram (Corsair , of corse)more chance of more oc head room , not guarenteed , but more likely. ;)
