After all my posts about different vid cards and CPUs, I finally made my list of parts I'm DEFINITELY getting for my upgrade.

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128073 (this board is very upgradeable for when I have the cash for a Q6600)

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115031 (this should hold me for 6mouths till C2Q)

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150230 (I might buy another for SLI if needed... correction I WILL buy another cause I'm greedy :p )

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119047 (I'm tired of clear side panels)

So whatcha guys think? I just want some opinions before I purchase. ;)

(Merry Christmas too myself:cool:)
 
get the 8600GTS, it has LOTS more power for just a tad bit more money. the 8600GT is pretty weak, not much better than the 7600GT, and Sli wouldnt help too much

How bout this guy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127284R

It a little bit more expensive but I can handle it. Is it worth the extra 10-20$?

And "Open Box" good or bad?:confused:

EDIT: AHHH... see what you did Rudster, you made me second think my list :p
Now I'm gunna make a million changes and never gunna make this order lol
 
idk about MSI video cards... i personally would stray away from those if possible, im getting that XFX card but the XXX version, should be coming in the next few hours from newegg via UPS, once i get that ill be gaming and benching it all night and ill let you know what it can do, mind you its the XXX version which i believe just has higher factory clocks, so maybe you can oc that 8600 gt from XFX to my clocks, we'll see... :)
 
Oh, love the case. It's nice solid, and looks to be a decent cooler (don't know that part of it for sure). Overall nice build.
 
alright, i got the 8600gt XXX and my new 2GB of ram pc5300, and its running awesome!!! my custom in sig with 7800 gs oc gets a 3dmark05 score of 6785 and the dell e510 w/ 3.0ghz p4, 2GB kingston pc5300 and XFX 256MB 8600GT XXX scores a 7335!!! i havent even oc'ed yet, so i think you will be pretty darn happy with this card... i havent played COD4 with it just yet, but it seems to be doin its job pretty damn well so far... :D
