A aowen416 Daemon Poster Messages 766 Feb 17, 2008 #6 Neo why would you get a $150 mobo on a $600 budget :|? I think they don't have a 8600GT...they just want to include one...

worshipme Golden Master Messages 5,603 Feb 17, 2008 #7 I think Neodude's build is nice, but I would choose this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130098 And use the extra money to buy some Corsair XMS2 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145590 I would also include the HD 3850 256MB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102714 The performance gain over an 8600GT would be immense. And for the PSU, This is good:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052
