adding in a monitor makes it a lot harder to fit in those budget restraints(atleast with an 8800) as for creds, however many you like. I personally don't care a ton about them. I think I've donated a few thousand creds during my time here so that should tell you something... roughtly take the build above then... x1950 p.r.o/xt from the 8800GTS and I'm going to be blunt, I've found LCD monitors to be grossly overpriced. If you don't have to pay for the electricity, there should be almost no reason to have one...
Well I have a Dell 19" Monitor The old school one and I might just stick with that one as it is taking almost 2/3 of my bro's desk Other than that I will stick with the build you gave me but i still need a psu! since you said that the one in the case sucks...

the thing i can say that xelink will more then likey say is go with c2d if u on a budget that will suit ur needs nicely, my amd build i just made is freaking awsome spec's in sig
Well yeah I never really used AMD before and used core duo or core2duo processors so far and pentium 4 (old desktop). So yeah Will see when the time comes what Xelink and the world has for me but thanks for help though Zain
the HD2600s and the GeForce 8600s are basically ------ cards. I'd take a 7900GS or a x1950pro over them any day. they might be "DX10 ready", but they sure the hell can't play DX10 games well. Heck most highend cards, 8800s and 2900s take a noticable hit in DX10 as of the moment. if he has any intent on OCing, then an e4300(when configured as such) is a better option if not then yes AMD defiantly is the route to go. PSU- at your price point http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817256019 that's probably the best option if it's anything like it's higher wattage bigger brothers(and I'm willing to bet it is)
Well I know what ya mean Xelink I will probably check back later when soemehting new comes on my mind As for now I still have two months before I order any parts ! Thanks guys Zain
Or get this ram alternatively: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...82E16820227231& and here's a 7900gs for 100$: http://shop4.outpost.com/product/4970851
