Is this a good all around build, I've been gone for a couple weeks and wanna get caught up ..

Q6600
GSKILL HZ 2GB
8800 GTS 320MB
P35-DS3R MOBO
Cooler Master 5
320gb hd.. seagate perpendicular something or another 7200.10 (is it still best?)
XCLIO Goodpower 500w or corsair 520w..

These still the best budget things out? or has something else better came out for budget? please comment, thanks

its fine... may i suggest a cheaper but good case?

coolermaster elite 330

[vernong1992]

btw g-skill ram has become expensive crucial ballistix is now more recommended

Thats the usual recommended on this site...and those are great parts. Pick the Corsair 520HX, for the PSU.

Thanks for the help, is the elite BETTER than the cooler master 5? if not im sticking with cooler master 5, paying $10 more for a better case wont break the bank too bad.. I'll go with crucial since its only $80 after rebate unless there are other suggestions that are better.. thanks..


wait, is this ram better?

it's $43 for a gig, and no rebates.. is it just as good if not better than crucial? or stick with crucial?

just go with the case that looks more spacey, airflow etc.. yeah get the crucials and should be good.
