I just saw that the E6600 is under $300, NICE. I have not seen the lower clocked ones drop yet but I am sure they are coming.

so far the only thing i've seen thats dropped is the Q6600, from $999 AUD to $795 AUD

when i get all my parts im gonna be putting it together myself, so is there anything else i need to put it together, like say glue or something?

If i buy all the parts except the Graphics Card, (for about 2 weeks), will the computer still run, for say installing XP and some other programs ?

Beetle Bailey · April 22nd, 2007

As long as the board has on-board video, then yes. If not then you will have to wait until you get your video card, Bailey.

Has the price of the E6320 CPU dropped near you guys? I dont think it has here..

I can's seem to find any EVGA 8800s near me but there is a store with Leadtek 8800s, that are pretty cheap compared to other places, would anyone recommend Leadtek for Graphics cards?

Also can someone tell me how to delete posts :/

Nope, most of us here would recommend EVGA, XFX, or BFG, for nVidia cards.

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
E6320 1.86GHz
2GB corsair 800MHz TwinX Kit
XFX 8800 GTS 320MB
SeaGate SATA 250GB
OCZ 700w GameXtream
ThermalTake Bug TyphoonVX
Antec P182/900

Anyone know if the P182 is any different to the P182SE, besides the colour? I dont plan on OC'ing the E6320 for a little while but will it do good with current games, without OC'ing it? And is SATA better than IDE?

Dr. V · April 28th, 2007

SATA, my friend, is most definitely a jump from IDE. dont even contemplate that.

as for your P182 question, they aren't any different. yes, you're setup will do amazing with pretty much anything without OCing it. and no, dont get a LeadTek or any other model card. either eVGA, XFX, or BFG (as said so perfectly by Hitman). with XFX's new warranty, theyve just become more attractive than ever, not that their DOUBLE LIFETIME warranty wasnt enuff before, you can do ANYTHING u want to ANY card, INCLUDING 3rd party anything, O/Cing, u name it, its all covered, except for any physical damage like resistors and stuff, or water damage.

for me, i like the BFGs cuz their "OC" line is very appealing and never fails. however, XFX's "XXX" line and eVGA's...umm..."KO" or much more common "Superclocked" lines are also extremely reputable and attractive.

between those 3 brands, choice is urs. like many others, i wouldnt recommend any other brands.

good luck, hope to get some feedback from this soon!
