help builing a computer

[FLAWLESS]

Im planning on buying a computer and came to relize that i wont be able to afford E6600 or E6700. Would this processor be the best for the speed E6200 1.6GHz 2 MB L2 1066MHz FSB? or can i find something cheaper that has more power?

Also im not sure what power supply i would need to be able to hold a E6600 processor or a strong video card or possibly a SLI setup.


Also are their any motherboards i should wait for. I couldn't find one with SLI .

nothings been posted about the lower end conroe's yet. but as far as a power supply goes:

forton 600watt for 100 bucks. insane deal.

as far as motherboards go, all we know is what they look like, no performance numbers.

The E6200 is scheduled for Q4. The lowest clocked Core 2 Duo available at July 23rd will be the E6300 1.86GHz 2 MB L2 1066MHz FSB. It's only ~$110 less than the E6600. A 520W Powerstream should be plenty.

520watt power stream costs more than that fortron i linked to and the fortron is beefier. besides the powerstreams are just rebranded fortrons/fsp's
