    Personally I would probably drop the processor to the 6600 quad core.  Also isn't the corsair XMS2-6400 only DDR2 800? Wouldn't 1066 be better(your mobo should except this I believe) sicne bigger then that is a bit harder to come by. For a GPU the MAX I would get would be a 4870 or 280.  The X2 is nice but by far overkill. The amount you save just getting a good GPU card over the X2 can be used in 6months to be a card better then the X2 for cheaper.

    Where have you been the last 6 months?  ATI>>>> Nvidia right now

     

    its an endless debate, its just preference.

    tomshardware has nice revies and speed charts... good for a quality/price rating

    1000w psu is overkill.

    Quad core is fine. some games use it like call of duty 4. Bigger cache quad would be great. q6600 is best value for money at the moment and overclocks beautifully. mine has a guarantee on it from overclockers.co.uk to go to 3 ghz.

     

    I sitl lthink nvidia is the way to go as it has no problems with games and also a lot of games are part of the nvidia experiance scheme.

     

    i recommened crucial ballisrix ram 1066 over corsair. THe corsair ram seems to be really crappy right now and ships more then often dodgy batches.

    Don't be fooled ATI is failcom under a different name.



     

    Man something is really wrong with you.

     

    260gtx and the 280gtx from nvidia is their t200 launch.  This is their next gen GPU.  The die shrink isnt coming till around Q2 of 2009 and by then so will the shrink on the R700 and RV770 and RV770 Pro. 

    Again.. you really are novice in the ways of the GPU.

    I'm sorry your such a douche bag, but I put this up cuz I wanted to find out if some of the things I might have been doing are wrong. I got some advice from others I'm going to change the ram, and add a couple other things. So no I didn't do this to get my ego stroked, I did it for educational purposes, because this type of a forum has exactly the people I want to get advice from.Simply my other computer is bricked and I wanted help on the new build. And yeah I am freakin excited about it. 

     So thanks to those people who are helpful, and I'm sorry you're such a hateful douche who has nothing better to do than chastise others who may not know about something and trying to get a little help.

     

    Peace out

     

    and see you all in the game.

    well you have the wrong website, this is mmorpg.com not tomshardware, you will be better asking this in a hardware forum.
