New build

[Spec]

Okay heres the thing, im selling my desktop computer and my other desktop and i know i could get about 600 dollars for it. My dad is thinking about letting me build him a computer that is EXTREMELY nice. I've got a 2500 dollar budget.
I was thinking about a quad core intel 2.66ghz Q6600 processor.

Horrible choice of PSU. Get a Silverstone for a high end build like that...

Looks pretty good other than that though.

That geil ram is pretty sexy . But...its sold out sadly.
i'm thinking about getting that q6600 vs the q6700. hmm...its got really good reviews too...
if i do get the 6600, i could possibly get 8 gigs of ram because of the price. something like the geil 1066 speed ram? quad kit anyone? hmm..

If you have the patience, wait a few months, cause the new line of processors will be out soon.

When the new line comes out, you will be saying the same thing. "Wait for the next, Wait for the next," and he will never want to buy a processor because he will know the new ones are coming out.

^ Agreed.
But the new line of intel's is coming out pretty soon.
