Hi guys this is a first for me am going to try and build my first.
This is what i have done so far need openions:


SILVERSTONE TEMJIN SST-TJ06S-W Silver Aluminum front panel, 0.8mm SECC body ATX Full Tower

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI ATX12V 600W Power Supply 100 - 240 V CB/CE/CSA/UL/FCC - Retail

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Anything i forgot?
 
Swap the PSU for the X-Clio Goodpower 500w.

You're also gonna need some RAM, try to get 2gb BRAND DDR2 for around $70
 
Are you gonna try and OC the e6850? If so look into the Ultima 90 and get 92mm fan while at it. If not OCing then stock HSF is fine.
 
i have ati x1600 pcie for right now

monitor is a 22 in wide LCD

i like first shooter am playing Medal of honor Airborne right now also want to try playing on line some

bugget is about $1000 unless my wife finds out then it might be smaller buget
 
- Are you planning to get a new video card in the future? Do you want to play your games at max resolution on your 22" monitor? Or least close to it?
- Are you planning to OC?

The E6850 is perfect for current games. However, future games will take advantage of quad-cores so it may be a better plan to go with the Q6600 instead.
 
If you need to make room in that budget for a vidcard, drop down to the E6750 and OC it. Don't worry, its EASY to OC. You should hit 3.2Ghz without changing more than 2 settings.
