Hey everyone, i finally decided that i have to go with Intel now, since i am getting a 8800GTX the 4400+ X2 wont be enough anymore. (oced at 2.8GHz). Also since i have a 19" LCD i cant play higher than 1280x1024.

This is what i am planning to get:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 6600E (its gonna run with watercooling so i have lots of room for overclocking)
MoBo: eVGA nForce 680SLi (is there something better at the same price?)
RAM: OCZ DDR2 PC2-7200 Gold GX XTC (is there something better here too?)
Graphics: Most probably i ll go for the eVGA 8800GTX (and when i ll have the money for it i ll go for SLI and a new PSU)

The reason i am not getting PC8000 RAM is cause its too expencive and 7200 runs at 450MHz FSB which is quite enough i think. (or do i need more? cause i am gonna squeeze the 6600 as much as it can go)

I am asking cause i am gonna sell my current things and i wanna see how much more extra money i ll need. Also i would like ur opinion cause the last time i had an Intel rig was when the PIII 800MHz (coppermine) came out ^_^

Also this is gonna go on a Tagan 530W PSU (Pump + 6 Cathode Lights + 4 Fans + 1 CD-R + 1 DVD-R + 1 SATA HDD + 2 Raptors WD740)

(note that i have to get everything from newegg cause they ship to APO mail)
