Here goes.....

You need to get a better PSu.....nah...the corsair is good.....

Oh...Get a better CPU....Damn - it's the same one I have and it's very good.

I know the Memory you need to have at least 2 gi....oh - I see you have that.

Hmmmmmm.....Ok - how about a different case - one with vowels in the manufacturers' name. Yeah - that's it.

Go on then - build your machine.....

Good luck.

Cheers.

Don't know what your shopping options are, but here is a good deal on RAM. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Prod [...] 5-5&ps=ho3
The 6750 has also been cheaper at most places than the 6600. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115029

Thanks for the responses, I went with the E6600 because I managed to find a great deal on it and it helped me meet my budget. As for the RAM, I will definitely consider either that Corsair RAM or the OCZ because of the low prices being offered. Thanks for the advice :)
