Cheapest E6300 C2D System Build!

I'm trying to put together an E6300 gaming system as cheaply as possible.

Here are the price lists I am working with:

http://www.microbytes.com/computer [...] /index.php

Mouse over "components" to get the prices.

THE PRICES ARE IN CANADIAN CURRENCY.

Here is what I have so far:
CASE ATX ALPHA 1150 BLK 450W (450W constant supply) $75.00
ATI PCIE RAD X1950XTX 512M BOX $579.00
LCD 19IN VIEWSONIC VX922 2MS BLACK/SILVER $365.00
INTEL CORE 2 DUO E6300 1.86G/1066/2M/S775 $239.00

300.0 W.D 7200 8MB WD3000JB $115.00
DVD+/-RW ASUS DRW-1608P2S DL 16/16/6 OEM BLK $45.00
C.LABS SOUNDBLASTER X-FI XTREME MUSIC BIL $139.00
already have KB and mouse

Total: $2095
With tax: $2388.30
(a good $1000 cheaper than an equivalent Dell System)
Am I missing anything? Did I screw up some compatibility issue?

Thanks

Heh, are you in Montréal ?

The system that you priced doesn't exactly qualify as cheap by any means, I'm sure that you can shave a few hundred loonies by going with a X1900XT from Sapphire, PC2-5400 (666MHz) and a more frugal sound card, the difference in performance will be insignificant.

I'm also curious to know what are the specs on your current computer and if you intend to overclock.

Just in case you haven't noticed, those prices are in Canadian currency, so much for your long winded rant about the prices...

mebe and I sorta began to realize mebe it was canadien I had forgotten canada had electicity tho <3 =P
regardless seeing 2k and cheapest 6300 build in same post made me laugh.

Oh actually I spec'd a system for no reason earlier.



Could modify it I was messing around and did it in 5 minutes.
I think it doesn't include a case+psu.
But I had a combo off another site for like $120.
Same/similar price as yours.
I would suggest yours/mine over dell's.

I guess I can use an integrated sound card and wait for the X-fi games to come out and wait for the reviews before plunking down the $150~ or so to buy it. The integrated sound on my laptop sounds fantastic already.

The reason I said that I was going to wait for Kentsfield is for the price drop - I already know that the quad cores have only a very marginal effect on the performance for games, and definitely not worth the price.

I do plan to do some overclocking (hence the E6300)... I heard that any idiot can get it up to 2.6ghz with hardly any trouble at all. We will see.

People at Microbytes not knowing their stuff? My experience has been quite the opposite. I always hate how there are never any salespeople available when I go, though
