Oh...hmm. Let me see if I can't find you a better deal for those parts...or atleast the main few. Case: I think this case would be better and cheaper. It's Umart but they can ship nationwide. Power Supply: Maybe better, not sure. Didn't read your choice, lol. Also, Umart. Motherboard: Also, Umart.
you might want to consider taking a Dual core instead of a Quad core becuase most of the games don't support quad core's yet, Yes the game will still run but it has a lower performance than a dual core, I suggest taking an Intel E8400 instead of the Q6600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115037 PS: I couldn't find it anywhere on MSY becuase it has a really bad layout... PS PS: the prices there in australia are really overprices, I pay less for the parts and I am even from europe...
In the future games would be coming out for quad core right? So i would like to be safe in the future as well. plus if you OC the Q6600 it preforms better the the E8400?
ok ATM the E8400 will get 100FPS in COD4 and Q6600 will gget 90... However, FUTURE games will require more quores so this will mean the 6600 gets 120FPS and the 8400 gets 80? + this wont just be for gaming
Core i7 = Amazing - Also your processor on newegg is only 185$ 4870X2 = Amazing 4GB DDR2 hopefully over PC6400 - Kingston is good though. Get a razer mouse That monitor may be a bit expensive, but it seems good.
The i7 just came out here in Australia, they cost around 600. I'm not paying 600 dollars for a processor lol.
actually the processor can't produce more fps than it already does and by the time your quad core is fully supported for games you are only doing 20-30fps... also an overclocked E8400 can get up to 4ghz...
