Default New build! What do you think?
What do you think about the following build?

Q6600
DFI P35-T2RS
Crusial Ballistix 1GBx2
OCZ EvoStream 720W
Sapphire 4850
Tuniq T-120

No case yet because as much as I like the $100+ cases I don't see why I should expend that much for one so I'm really considering a $20 rosewill

Excellent choices all accross the board. I didnt know much about the card, but i looked at some benchmarks against the rest, and for 189$ it is an EXCELLENT buy. check out the results in Crysis, Call of Juarez and company of heroes etc..

as for the power supply, I cant say much, i just dont know it. Then again, your rig wont use more than 500w, so you're good.

Great ram. I was gonna suggest goin for 4gb, but the cheapest good ram you can get for 4gb is around 65$ after MIR...

2gb = 20$
4gb = 65$

Hm....?

Yeah I was a little concerned about the ram but for $20 after MIR and 2 free 1GB flash drives, I just couldn't resist.

because that ram has been frying left and right. I'm on my fourth set and it's fast as anything when it's working but i fried two sets before i even oc'd. I'm hoping it was the board as i just RMA'd that as well but just a heads up.

Hopefully I won't have to RMA them but w/e for the price I don't really care. Do you think they will allow me to get 3.6 out the q6600?

Well, you can do 400x9, and that will allow you to run your ram at stock speeds. Hopefully it wont fry under stock speeds, but from my experience it wouldn't be too unbelievable.

It's good ram from a great company. If you have any problems with your sticks, they have a lifetime warranty and Crucial offers cross shipping. Every company has products go bad, but a good company truly shines in how it's handled with the customer.
