Looks good to me, I think the 6600gt is a great card for a budget minded system.

GL with putting the new system together! ![]() |

I know the 430w psu isnt the best but it has recieved good reviews and it seems to fit my budget for the time being. I figure I can always upgrade the psu in the future if need be. Thanks everyone!! |
