CPU $230

GPU $120

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?

everything seems good, but dont get open box ram, sometimes it can be ok, but more than likeley u get the lemon that frys the mobo

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

Oh okay. Il switch it up and get retail.


Is it worth it to get a conroe right now?

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.

do not buy the core 2 duo e6300. it comes with the allendale core and not the conroe core...

yeah but that takes all the sweetness right out of the infamous "conroe".

its not even a conroe.

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?
