Ditch that video card and get the 8800GT or get the 768 MB GTX, or get the 320 MB version of that card if you don't have the money for the GTX because performance reviews were done on the 640mb and its not as good in some aspects as the 320mb.

Why get a case with a PSU in it if your just going to replace it?

I also would get a different PSU, like the Corsair 620.

Ditch that power supply it has major issues with G80 cards! I'm a victim and royally irked!

Make sure you get G0 stepping for the Q6600.

Are you planning to go SLI? if not, get P35, as the 680i doesn't oc Quad very well compare to P35 or X38.

Also why not try DDR2 X38 board? since you're getting a new one anyway

Nice setup but wish you go for WD HD.

Id Waite on Q6450 (a new Quad core that will come out in Jan). And get a 8800 GT instead. Its cheaper and better then the GTS.

NZXT Trinity FTW!

Wuhoo!

I swapped out my NZXT PSU before long because it couldn't handle 2x 7600GS' in SLi, bought a CoolerMaster iGreen 600, which was then fine. The 400 might be ok with one card though. Not sure what the rated wattages are though for 8 series cards...

I agree with Grooverider also, go with the new 88GT 512. Cheaper, cooler, and well, just makes a bit more sense to me. Or snag a right bargain off the bay from people losing their old GTS' in order to pick up a GT..?

Get the 8800GT, some better RAM, Ballistix or Mushkin, get a tuniq tower or Ultra-120 extreme, and change your power supply to a silverstone OP650, you'd have a much better system.
