looks good.
i have only couple suggestions. I would looks for a Retal SATA DVD burner. New motherboards support SATA natively, but for IDE you'll need third party drivers, that are not very good sometimes. Retail version will come with burning software suite. Cooler Master power supplies are usually good. However with this eXtreme series they seem to claim higher power ratings than they really are. So this PSU is likely to be 400-450W. Check FSP, Antec, xClio or Corsair - 520W(most recommended right now) PSUs. If you are ready to buy - that Cooler Master Case - Centurion 532 is only $30 after MIR at zipzoomfly with free shipping. good luck |

would go for seagate 7200.10 SATA 16mb cache HD better bang for buck.
as above go for SATA liteon DVD burner DDR2 800 is not needed unoless you are overclocking, can save some cash and go for the corsair value select 667mhz. for power supply go for the corsair 520W HX unit. would maybe look at EVGA equivilent graphics card over BFG. what are you looking to use this computer for? if heavy gamer may want a better graphics card.

Is there a reason you chose the 6600 over say the 6750 or 6550?
6750 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...5029&Tpk=e6750 6550 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115030 You would need a different MoBo that supports the 1333 FSB, but it would be about the same price for higher performance. It would also allow you to utilize the higher rated RAM that you're looking at. You would need a different MoBo, I would suggest the P5K. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131189 That's just my 2 cents. (Overall, I think it would save you roughly 10-40 dollars and give you a little performance boost.) |
