My first Core 2 duo

[candyraver]

Hi.

Here is my new CORE 2 DUO build, this will be a nice upgrade from my old XP2000.

The idea was not to overclock but in a later state buy a new CPU cooler and then atleast overclock the e6300 to 2.8mhz.
So I did not want to go cheap on memory and motherboard but still keep a budget.

Sorry for the swedish prices in the links...

Im not sure about the powersupply, the rest im pretty sure of...
Any suggestions or recommendation?
It should be able to reach 2.8/3.0ghz with a new cooler later on, right guys?

sounds like a nice build, but what are you gonna do about a videocard?

Sounds like you could probably hit 2.8 with what everyone else is reporting.

Thanks for the positive feedback. With Intel stockcooler I guess it would be too warm at 2.8ghz. I will be using a budget 7600GT until DX10 get's populair (I'm no real gamer)

Guys! Does this still feel like a solid build? Any other comments?
