Knock the CPU down to a 6600 and get an 8800GTX instead imo, as the 6700 is a waste of money when you consider the 6600 overclocks to 3.5Ghz on average

yhea, get the 6600. even the 6400 would do it. with a decent cooling system, the 6400 overclocks to the moon! i got mine with stock cooling at 3.1GHz.



the 6600 has 4MB of cache though...
