i know you're trying fo low budget, but an E1200 will not be good... Can you at least get an E2**0 chip: more cache, while remaining supremely overclockable. Also what's your budget, and where are you located?

Only thing I would say is to try and get a more powerful CPU by trying to save some money eg get a smaller hard drive. Are you planning on using vista?

I would definitely get a better processor like the Core 2 Duo E4500 Allendale 2.2GHz 2M for $119

i third that as well! that cely will break your heart when trying to game. and i'm with nzxtlexa on getting a smaller hard drive at 1st and then get a large one in the future for added storge. this should free up some cash for a better proc.

also hold up on the 9600gt and instead go with the 8800gs as it's a little cheaper and will still give you good performance.

^Agreed. Get a 8800GS, and spend the extra money on a better CPU. Id recommend a E2180. Please tell me you are going to OC.

power supply is enough?

 

[nzxtlexa]

yes should be fine
