|  QCore < ~$600? So, does anybody have any idea what combo I should use to build a decent Q6600 system for under $600? Is it possible? I need Mobo, cheap case (pref full tower), heatsink, HD, RAM, PSU, and CPU. If my 400w PSU will be alright until I can upgrade, that knocks one thing off the list. I'm just going to re-use my 7950GTX until I can get an 8800. Thanks. Last edited by heXTT; 12-22-2007 at 01:14 AM. |

| Re: QCore < ~$600? I don't think the 120 would fit inside a mini tower @,@ if you do have paypal, I'd say get that Q6600 from Nukem PSU? for that price I guess you can't complain

| Re: QCore < ~$600? I am PayPal verified, but is buying a used, CPU that's been clocked wise? Also, is there any reason why I can't mount my PSU outside of the case? Lower ambient temps and probably room for the 120, or is it actually too tall to fit between the sides? Also, Newegg.com - RAIDMAX KATANA ATX-729FB Black SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail the price up quite a bit, but looks like a decent alternative if all else fails. |

| Re: QCore < ~$600? he used it for one month, a CPU's life span is way longer than that I still have my P4 from like 5 years ago... up and running like a champ I am just saying... 240 is a great deal, IF I had the money for upgrade, I'd be all over that, wouldn't have mentioned it to you PSU: I don't see why not Case: it's personal preference, get one that you like or that you can afford
