Default Hows this build.
I screwed my budget, and upped it by some.

How does this look

Case $28 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811166022

PSU $52
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104954

HHD $55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152020

Ram $160
$http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16820227030R

Mobo $150
http://www.newegg.com/product/Produc...82E16813128012

CPU $230

http://www.newegg.com/product/Produc...82E16819115005

GPU $120

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102688


I realize that the GPU isnt all high and everything, but I dont play too many games anymore, and apparantly this card is better than other cards of the same price range.

Is this an ok setup? Is it all compatible?

I also had conroe questions. Shoudl I buy this now? Or will the price drop anytime soon?

^^ ditto on the open box ram. It's hard enough getting good ram that HASN'T been opened.

nice build. i would say yes, its not a bad time to get conroe... since there's nothing being IMMEDIATELY released.. and in the computer industry thats all you can pretty much hope for... afaik no price cuts happening anytime soon.. although i could be wrong...

oh and i dare you to use the PSU with the case..

Thats what I figured too. ALso, I was surprised, I thought the 6300 was going to be 200, but its 230.

And are you volunteering to replace all the parts that I am going to fry by using this stock PSU? LMAO. But hey, that case looks awesome doesnt it? Elegant and aggresive at the same time.

Well I read that you only see a 10% performance boost anyway, so whats the point in forking over 70 more bucks?

Unless I am wrong?
