I'm looking to build a new Core 2 Duo system. However, I'm on a bit of a budget (about 1000$), and if there is any way I can save some money, please say so. The only thing I need to have is the Core 2 Duo and the nVidia card, since I'm going to be dual-booting linux and ATi's linux drivers suck. This system is going to be used for gaming.
Processor: Core 2 Duo E6400
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
RAM: pqi TURBO DDR2-533
PSU: Fortron 400W
Video: GeForce 7600GT (will this be good for gaming at 1280x1024?)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250G 16MB Cache
Optical: NEC DVD-RW DL
Optical: Lite-On DVD-ROM
Case: Thermaltake Mambo
If there is any way I can improve this or save money, please say so.
