[QUOTE="candle_TAW, post: 79817, member: 2597"] The Q6600 is under 200US, gigabyte board can mean anything that supports the quards so ranging from 40-400US, what speed DDR2, 4gb DDR2 400 isnt impressive, a 9600GT is an 80 Dollar video card, A 600W PSU means nothing without brand, so from 20-200 bucks there. I strongly advise agasint any prebuilts unless you can pick your parts by brand not just size. A E-Power 600W will give less power per say than a 400W P P&C PSU actully, also the caps tend to be of worse overall build. My best advise is to get all the parts you want, and read this guide. [url]http://www.build-your-own-computers.com/[/url] And build it yourself, then you can be sure of overall build quality in the parts because you bought based on brand, this isnt a T-Shirt or canned goods, you want and need brandnames in your computer, unless you like fireballs. Here is a good build idea Q8200 [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4089662[/url] $184.99 Gigabyte P45 DS3L [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4143793&CatId=3790[/url] $109.66 OCZ DDR2 800 2x2gb [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3404049&CatId=3412[/url] $24.99 EVGA 9800GT [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4035111&CatId=1826[/url] $109.99 Western Digital 500GB [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2795126&CatId=139[/url] $64.99 Lite-On DVD-RW [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3901534&CatId=1624[/url] $29.99 CM Case [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1482411&CatId=1842[/url] $49.99 OCZ 500W PSU [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3482959&CatId=1079[/url] 39.99 Total Build Cost 679.92 Thats a good gaming PC [/QUOTE]
