I need my build rated please.

I was planning on just using my old one, but I got to thinking, since I'm only taking a few parts I might as well replace the ones I'm taking with crappier parts and leave this one as my old PC. I added one.
 
Looks good to me. Some might comment on getting a Q6600 quad cpu or E8XXX dual core but, good enuff the E6750.

BTW, that Corsair VX550 is a great PS. But, NewEgg charges alot now for the Corsairs. You can get this same PS at Buy.com for a cheaper price and free shipping

Or....if you want to stick with everything on NewEgg then this Antec Earthwatts 500 watt is more than enough for your setup also.

Well, I am open to other Processors. I should note this is pretty much just going to be a gaming PC. Someone has been telling me to get the E8200.
 
Hmm.. maybe you should get the E8400 Dual core 3ghz cpu. This thing overclocks like mad and is ideal for gaming if that is your main intention for this PC. Get the Corsair VX550 PS and Intel E8400 CPU from Buy.com. Buy.com has the E8400 for $211.99 which is pretty good as compared to other places.

Oh, they also have the E8200 CPU for $190

Actually, I think I've decided to just leave everything in my comp and buy another GFX Card, what's best 8800GTS, or GTX?
 
8800GTS 512MB (the 320MB & 640MB are based on the old G80 GPU, so don't get one of those).
 
LOL, you asked which card was better, and I gave you the answer based on the two choices you provided. The 9600GT isn't bad, either, but has less stream processors than the 8800GT.
 
So, does anyone know if the E8400 will be back in stock anytime soon? Also, I've been hearing conflicting reports about the GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775, should I stick with it or get something else? I mainly want to game and general computer work.
 
I recommend sticking with the DS3L. Make sure you get a new PSU as well. The Corsair 550VX that HardwareGuru recommended is a good choice.
 
Well, I can tell you're getting a VX550W... so thats good. Could you list out the other parts... for us lazy people who still want to comment? ;) thanks.

Not only lazy to click on 4 links, but also too lazy to toggle tabs to see what you're getting, then toggle back to type a reply. ;) If you list everything here, I can efficiently reply while reading what you list. When you start replying to dozens of build threads per day, you'll understand.

I agree with Danny.

Also, consider the WD6400AAKS (promo code: EMCAEABBC) for $120. Its faster than the 750GB. Check out benchmarks in the HD Tune thread of the Disk Storage System subforum.
 
I'm debating on either the COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

or the Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
 
If those are your only two choices, the RC-690 for sure. Both are exactly the same quality wise yet the RC-690 is cheaper. So definitely go for the RC-690.

You might also want to check out this case as well:
Cooler Master RC-590-KKN1-GP ATX Case - $70
 
LoL, yeah they were out of stock a while ago and then it's back in stock. The RC690 case is good and has better cable management than the Antec 900. If you get a non modular PS then stick with the RC690 case.

What's non modular mean?
Click to expand...

With a modular PSU, you only use the cables you need. Any cable you don't need is removable -- or rather, you don't have to plug it in. So non modular means your standard PSU, with all cables attached and non-removable.

Compare the Corsair VX 550W and the HX 520W... the HX is modular, while the VX is non-modular.
