I haven't decided on motherboard or case yet. I still need helping in a choosing a decently priced motherboard which is good for gaming. I'll be running an ATI HD 2600 PRO 512MD PCI-Express X16 for now.
 
you're planning on running an 2600 with an Q6600?
do you already own one of them?
and whats your budget?
 
I would go with an OCZ Power Supply. They're relatively cheap and have good quality. The RAM you picked is fine. It will be slightly bottlenecked to 667MHz (Q6600 has 1333MHz FSB right?). Look at some cooler master cases. I believe the Centurion 5 is around $50.
 
I already own a 2600. I'' get a 8800 when i save up the money. I really don't have a budget. All the money I earn in tips, I use to buy parts. A little bit at a time. If I had to put a number on it. I would say about 250 dollars more.
 
get a cheap crossfire board and get another one of those(2600 ) they are like 35 dollars now get a processor for the board and your good to go.
