E6600-I'll probaly OC to like 3.2-3.5 ghz
HIS ICEQ3 x1900xt
WD 250 gb 7.2k HDD
OCZ/G SKILL DDr2 2 gb ram-still don't know which is better
antec 550 watt psu
antec p180 case
Intel 975x - I think its crossfire, am i right?
and nec cd drive
Vx2025
Now is that a good build for alot of gaming and alot of websurfing and multitasking and using cs2? Is there anything i should change? I can't put any more into this computer, maybe 50 $ more tops
 
I am getting the Supertalant 2 x1gb pc8000 and they are quite cheap for what they are. Check reviews on them , i have ordered mine and should have them for next week.

Also going to wait for the 590sli board , i need it for my 7950xxx i have from my lasy system and the CPU is going to be same as yours.

Good pair of ram will help us get that extra spped out of it and thats why i chose what i chose.
 
Speaking of RAM, say I dedicate around $220 to buy some. Which would you rather do, would you rather buy 1 gb of really good stuff (like ddr2 1066), or 2 gb of just alright ddr2 800 stuff?

Thanks
 
I think 2GB DDR2 800 should serve you well if you're only going to be doing 3.2-3.5ghz. I've got 2gigs of the G.Skill Intel only (not HZ, forget the code) but it was 4-4-4-12 for 199$ so couldn't beat that. You might want to look at a different motherboard too, finding a rev 304 BadAxe can be quite a pain. You can buy the P5WDH for about the same price, maybe a little more expensive and it overclocks quite well, and supports Crossfire (as well as wireless and a remote, which I'm having problems installing for some reason :confused: ). I have my new rig up and running (check sig) waiting for an E6600 to come in. Everything is working fine at the moment, no problems :D

If you can find 1Gb sticks of ddr900 , i would buy them. after reading what eclipse had to say , i would rather use two 1gb modules than using two 512mb , also its using two lanes and i would try and save them for later, programs and games are using more space and its better for the future.
