My first build

[chromesocks]

First of all, I'm going to want to game with this computer, new games like crysis and far cry 2, gta iv, etc. This will be my first time building a computer. And yeah, its not a complete build, but it is a significant upgrade!

I haven't ordered any of these things yet, so if you see something that i should change, please tell me!
This is from tigerdirect.ca (Canadian dollars)

$195.99

CP2-DUO-Q6600 :: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor HH80562PH0568M - 2.40GHz, 8MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB, Kentsfield, Quad-Core, OEM, Socket 775, Processor

$229.99

So, what do you think? Are all these parts able to be put together? haha.

I already have a nvidia geforce xfx 9800gt with 512mb ... and I think I'm going to go with the q6600, unless something is horribly wrong with it. I also already have a hdd, and a mid tower case (which i hope is big enough, if not, please let me know) and ram.

Also, do i need any other cooling products? Anywhere else i can get any of these parts cheaper? Would the power supply be sufficient if i added another 9800? Will this be impossibly hard to build for for someone who has never built one before? Any good for Overclocking?


One more question. Can you put a xfx nvidia 9800gt (512mb) in sli with a evga nvidia 9800gt (1gig)?? with the motherboard i specified? (I'm going to guess you can't)

You don't have to answer all the questions. haha, just give me any information you can.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply, and yeah, i figured there would be a lot to change, I'll take a look at those links now.

OK, how about this?

evga 750i motherboard

ocz dual channel memory 4 gigs

two xfx 9800gt video cards (in SLI)

intel core 2 q6600

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler

power supply.. not really sure what i need, I'm open to suggestions, but i was thinking about:

OCZ OCZ600GXSSLI GameXStream 600-Watt ATX Power Supply

Can anyone suggest a chip set fan, or any other cooling products i may need?

And what do you think of these parts, will it work?

I know crossfire is "better" than SLI, but i'm kinda stuck with SLI, because i already have the two video cards.

 

[Proximon]

Well, two 9800GTs will be pretty nice really You'll need a bit more power than that OCZ:

CPU:Q6600 $220
MB: EVGA 750i $202
RAM: Mushkin 4GB 800Mhz $70
PSU: Corsair 750TX $147
CPU cooler: Sunbeam Core Contact $49 The very best air cooler made. Comes with everything you need.

I don't know what case you are using, so I can't say if your video cards will stay cool or not.

 

[chromesocks]

First of all, thanks for the help, i really appreciate it.

I was just looking at the dimensions of those parts, and I don't think my current case is big enough.

What case would you recommend, for the parts you listed above?
