Im going to run vista on that. Will everything work ok there and be compatible. As i said i dont really know what im at. Thanks. Also does anyone think it would be worth changing to an AMD of similar price ?

If i did that with the harddrives how would they be connected. would they just come up on "my computer" as 2 differant drives and would i save stuff to the big one like i currently do with my external for my laptop. Would the transfer speen between them be slow ? Also im getting that processor cos i dont know how to overclock but i am going to learn in the not so distant future. Is it difficult for newb

well, I would go with a diferent case, such as the antec 900 if you can find it (which used to be $50 less on newegg, don't be deterred by the US pricing)

And I would like toknow what you want the e6600 for, because if all you want is the clock speed, or think the cache is worth the difference, unless you can call 5% a big difference (usually only 1-2%, max about 5% differnce between 2mb and 4mb), then you should simply get the e4300 and save yourself some money and get the 8800gtx or wait until the r600 comes out. You're better off with a 4300/88800gtx or r600, than a 6600/8800gts, because the 4300 can be overclocked to be faster than the x6800 with some nice cooling, where as on the dx10 cards, it's the amount of unified pixel shaders that matters, so you're better off with the 8800gtx getting the cheaps stock evga one and overclocking it yourself

And I don't really think you currently need 4gb of ram, but since you have found some very cheap ones, that means it isn't a bad idea to get it, only problem is that it's very hard to overclock 4 sticks over 1 or 2

Rest looks good for now
