eVGA 7600GT - $109.99 *after $20 MIR*

OCZ SOE 1gb DDR2 Kit - $125.99

I knew we were missing something, PSU!!!

:eh: I would go the 'Fragtek way', and get an E6300... you can still hop-up the performance greatly and spend the saved dough on the PSU and a 7900 series videocard.

That said, I gotta start saving for an 8800GTX:D When is ATI due to put out a DX10 GPU:eh:

Yup, great way to save some money to get a nice PSU and such would be to step down to the E6300 and then just clock it like mad. Easily be able to hit the speeds of E6600+ with the described setup.
 
Whatever PSU ya get, make sure it's one with Active PFC. Almost any PSU with that would be a good one... ZZF has the OCZ GameXStream 700w going for $115 after MIR, and the 600w going for $90 after MIR. Those are some of the best around anywhere near that price range.

TJS, ATI will be releasing R600 in February, so March is a safe bet. ;) nVidia will be releasing NINE more DX10 cards as well to try and spoil the lunch... I am sure one of them will be a grade higher than a 8800GTX, and probably with GDDR4 RAM on it...

An E4300 would be a better investment and cheaper

Then add a PSU to Frags spec and you've got a decent PC

I`m supprized u said that m8. Do u base that on knowing he`s going to wc the oc and hence is going to get a great oc out of it ?

Even considering his 6600 may have a larger cache, but not renouned as such a good ocer as a 4300 %age wize.

Out of interest.
 
E4300 is far cheaper and with a 9x multi clocks pretty high too. OK so the cache drops the performance down a bit, but as he is on a budget I would go for the E4300

I understand. I`ve seen some outstanding results via llwyd of these E4300 - u definately can`t shun them.
