Hey Guys I've decided to build a system now, just for music production. My Limit (plus shipping and handling) is about $600, being that I'm running two in separate locations (don't ask) and i will be spending money on other equipment. I had asked for help about a month ago, but then i decided to buy the other components (keysboards, sound card) then and wait. I am finally able to buy now (I need everything before the end of the next week). Here is what I have.

The total with shipping is $554. The reason why I chose that video card over an x1300 or 7300 is because I want to play madden and live 08 at decent framerates when they come out, and they have dual dvi outputs which is a need of mine. I already have a Hard drive as well I know that the core2 prices are dropping in a month but i need low priced setup asap. How much would an E4300 overclock a x2 3600? What do you guys think. All suggestions are welcome as will be ordering this some time during the weekend. Thanks in advance again.

edit-seeing how no heat sink and fan are included in the x2 3600 bundle, i thought i might as well build a core2. Here is what i built with that.
