Very well, All done. Though it will need a case and fans. I've got down the basics of what would be a kick ass system.

RAM: OCZ PC2-6400 SLI advanced timings RAM
PSU: OCZ StealthXStream 600W
Graphics Card: Evga GTX 260 Core 216 896Mb

Looks nice man. Another Q, isn't quad core kinda of a waste right now?

Total for those parts is bout $773.94 so I got bout 100 give or take of some wiggle room. hey for the OS can't I write all the vista files onto a cd and use that, if yes and if you know how can you tell me?

More and more games are starting to use quad cores.

i say go with intel Q6700, thats what i got and i love it, oced to 3.5 without a problem

 

[Tofu007]

nice, but do u guys know how to copy the os files onto a disk so i can save $100?
I still think that AMD phenom X4 beats all of them, but quad isn't that bad, plus AMD phenom series is on the expensive side...

Yep, you can "Clone" a harddrive, if you buy the SeaGate drive using SeaTools.

kool, well that system looks nice man ty now to look for a case and a moniter. I thought I saw a mid-tower case on newegg that had 3 fans one 250mm and 2 235mm for like 100 bucks

 

[Grantofhell]

Once you find a case, you can determine how many fans it comes with and whether or not you should buy more.

nvm fan size to big it was 3 120mm fans lol for $79.99 coolmaster case atx mid-tower. my bad for false info
