Yes, AWESOME selections. I assume you are waiting for DX10 since you went with a mid-range gaming video card? Make sure that's the memory with the 5-5-5-15 timings for compatibility and stability (yours links are all invalid).

Yes, they are.
If this is for gaming then I'd suggest spending $20 more and getting the GT video card. It performs better for such a small price increase. Newegg's links have quit working for us lately, so just type in evga 7600 gt in the search window.

If you're not doing the hold-me-over thing with the video card like newbuilder mentioned, you might go with the E6300 and a stronger video card for better gaming performance. Otherwise, that's still a good gaming system.
If you copy links from the forum, they won't work. The forum shortens long URL's. Here's where the links are taking you: http: // www. newegg.com/product/produc...82E16811129155 Parts get chopped off---------------------^ (hopefully that lines up on your monitor)

If you are copying a link from elsewhere in the forum, you have to right click on it and copy - you can't just drag it and copy. It's always been that way, the display truncates after so many characters but the underlying link is complete.

By drag and drop I meant drag, Ctrl+C, click, Ctrl+V.

That is correct, it's good stuff. You have a solid list of parts there.
One possible improvement I can see if that you could spend a couple $$ more (if your budget allows) and get the 7600GT instead of the GS. |

You really do NOT need memory with such a high frequency - that maximum I would get is this DDR2 800 memory, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145590
If you aren't overclocking then get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145098 |
