Thanks everyone for the responses. Here is what I ended up buying GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3R MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800GT 512MB G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1000 Core 2 Quad Q6600 I almost went with the E8400 because of the clock speed but changed my mind on OC'ing the 6600. I think I...

I bought a CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX about 1.5 years ago. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Thanks! I don't do a lot of gaming but I also want to run games a year from now at a reasonable quality. Maybe I should just get the 9600GT and think about upgrading a year from now. Off to research the 9600GT v the 8800GTS...

What? You don't want to click through all my links?? :) OP updated with parts.

Bump... Anyone?

It's great I have so many options but I need some input to help me makes some decisions. I'm currently running AMD Athlon 3000+, 6600GT, 2GB RAM with a 20" WS monitor running 1680x1050. Here is what I'm looking at CPU (Intel Q6600): http://www.newegg.com/product/...x?item=N82E16819115017...

I'm looking to build a new system for some gaming, watching HD video, and Photoshop work. I'm mainly looking for an increase in Photosop performance. Currently I have: Athlon 64 3000+, 2GB RAM, 6600GT. Looking at buying: Intel Q6600...

Hmmm so would it be worth while to hold off another 3-6 months and get a 8800GTX (or whatever is a reasonably priced high end card), then upgrade everything but the video card next year? I think I will wait to see how Supreme Commander runs. Recommended system is 3.0 GHz and a 256MB video...

I use it for gaming, some video encoding/decoding, Photoshop, movies, web surfing, office stuff. Expectations? I WANT A FASTER SYSTEM! :) I don't expect to have an amazing system that can run the latest game at the highest settings, but I feel like mine is starting to get a little sluggish...

I'm thinking about upgrading my system but I'm not sure if its worth it. Currently I have an Athlon 64 3000+, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 6600GT. I'm thinking about getting a 7900GS 256MB, and a Athlon 64 X2 3800+ or an Athlon 64 X2 4200+. I would prefer to get the 3800+ since it is $50 cheaper, but if...

Thanks for the help. I did a complete reinstall of Linux and everything works great now.

Yeah, I changed the Linux HD to boot first and my system hangs. If I change it back to the XP drive booting first it boots fine.

I just installed Suse Linux on my PC, but I am having trouble getting a bootloader to work. I have XP on my C: drive and I have Suse on a separate HD (E: ). After I installed Suse it started up and I played with it for a while, so I know it works. But if I reboot it will automatically boot into...

I currently have my case fan set to high and my cpu stays around 35c. I would like to turn the fan down to low but if it will affect the cpu performance or life I can deal with the extra noise. What do you guys think?

I have a dual monitor set up on my 6600GT. I want the primary monitor to be on the right and the secondary monitor on the left. I want to move my windows to the left side of the screen to move them to the secondary monitor, currently I have to move them to the right side. I can't find a...
