These may be my new computer specs and any advice & suggestions are welcome! ;
Case:Antec P182
PSU: Corsair 520W
MB: Gigabyte P35 DS3R
CPU: E6750
Memory: 2GB (2x1GB) CorsairTwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800)
HDD: 500GB Seagate 7200.10
GPU: BFG 8800GTS 640MB
Monitor: Samsung 20" (206BW) Widescreen
CPU-Heatsink: Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme
Fans: 2 x Xilence 120mm fans
I hope the components I've chose will last me a while, input is welcome! :D
My budget is £1000
Everything's fine and dandy, maybe worth considering Asus P5K Deluxe or abit IP35 Pro motherboards, and I think Crucial Ballistix RAM is cheaper and overclocks very well.
those fans arent supposed to be that great.
Everything else looks good though
The Q6600 is around the same price as this so maybe worth consideringQuote:

Last i checked (yesterday) there was a €100/£70 difference between e6750 and q6600. With the shortage of quad enabled apps, that difference made up my mindQuote:
