Charliemopps' gaming rig
Hey guyz, building my first rig here and need some opinions. I've done my fair share of research and i think i've got it sorted. I filed my taxes and i'm getting $1300 back but i'd like to keep the budget for this under $900.

antec 300 - $45 at micro center
Q6600 - Probably gonna have to buy used off OCN, but that means you can get a good OC'er for arund $150-$160 Ram - Get a set of G skill DDR2 1066 for around $50 GPU - 2 4850's are awesome mobo - Gigabyte UD3P is an awesome board cpu cooler - TRUE is nice, or for cheaper get a Xigamatek S1283

__________________Hey, would a Q9400 be better than the 6600 cause its a 45 nm chip?

Well the Q6600's OC'ed higher and I think were better overall, but the last batches of Q6600's were not good OC'ers from what I heard. I wouldn't get a Q6600 unless its used and is a proven OC'er, but the Q9400 is not bad by any means.

Crossfire on that psu could be pushing it. I like rosewill but some of their stuff is junk.

Cool, good to know. Better to hear it now from you guyz then have unseen problems pop up later.
__________________4850x2 you say? A quad core and a dual slot gpu and my 3dmark06 score is gonna be up there. Did I mention that my current setup FAILS every benchmark i try to run.
