Ehhhhhh. If I were you I'd go C2Q Q6600 and OC it to around 3.0Ghz for the same price as that C2D. I'd also recommend spending the little bit more and getting a Razer gaming mouse. Get a good motherboard for OCing if you go the Q6600 route. I'm not sure which they were, but I tihnk it was the P5 motherboards that OC well. I'm probably FAR off. It was some Intel mobo though.

i dont really need a super good mouse but OCing is a great idea :taunt:.... tell me if you find one...
-
Find what? Lol. A good OCing mobo?

yes i dont know which mobos can OC :confused: and i also dont want to mess with stuff like flashing a custom bios or something lol..

Oh no no. ALL motherboards can OC, but I was just saying there's some that are really really good with the Q6600. If I come across the thread I had found somewhere else I'll let you know which motherboards they were.

I would go with a 780i motherboard, like PspKicks said go with a Q6600, and get at least an 8800GT for you gfx card (you can get those for about $140 now)
-
I've got an 8800 GT 1GB and it is really good on Crysis, I wouldn't recommend and models lower than the 8800's
-
Why have you already chosen a KB/Mouse? Thats the last thing you get, you can upgrade a KB/Mouse so much easier!

don't build it just order a computer through here.

I've been using on of their computers for the past two months. I have to say it's a really nice machine and tech support has been really good to me. :)

hmmm the site pretty good though i made a super good one for $1340.00(maybe even way better than i will build...) on that site and but still i wana build my own because i dont wana wait for shipping(cause tigerdirect is near where i live) and i can easily get any support or anything from em/or get some parts exchanged.... thanks anyways.... :tup:
now some of my plans are 780i mobo and 9800gt gfx card and the processor is the same as it was in my first post.. but i am thinking about a liquid cooling system and some cold neon :D but i may put my own neons(the leds that i have from modding psps).... i hope pc results in a good one....
