Well, I order one of the Dell XPS 700's the first of July and it hasn't moved yet. So I'm just going to cancel my order and build a new one. I already have a very nice case and a DVD-RW. I want to build a new Intel Duo Core system, but I want to make sure everything is compatible. Below is what I'm looking at getting.


CPU - Intel Conroe E6600 Core 2 Duo Processor 2.4GHz

Motherboard - ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe

Memory - 2GB DDR2 800MHz Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X2048-6400C4 (2x1GB)

Hard Drive - Western Digital SE16 400GB SATA (got it)

Video Card - BFG GeForce 7950GX 1GB PCI-Express

Sound Card - Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic

Case - SilverStone TJ03

PowerSupply - SILVERSTONE ZEUS SST-ST65ZF 650W
 
Very good idea to cancel the order and build your own. Nice choice of hardware too.

nice stuff. I'm not a huge fan of the silverstone psu, but otherwise, very nice.

How about an Enermax Liberty 620W instead?
 
Make sure the bios version of the motherboard will be flashed to the last Core 2 Duo compatible version. Some board says they are compatible with Conroe, but they were first of all built for P4. Altought i dont know if this board has this issue, just double check it..
