New Gaming System (salvaging old computer.

[rcoyle]

I'm building a new gaming computer on about a $600 budget. The computer I have now is a Dell Insprion 531. These are the parts I'm buying to build my new system, NA means that I'm using the part from my old computer. I just want to know if everything is compatible and will work. Any advice for parts is welcome also.

Er.. Is mine a good build or no? I wanted to pick most of the parts on my own, do all the research. I was just hoping for some suggestions.

Basically, I am not really liking the i3s. I prefer the X3s a lot over i3s.

gkays built is good.
Please pay attention :
Those are neweggs special bundles/combos.
Special bundles won't stay for long.
Go get them ASAP if you want them.

This build has two cases. (Antec 300 + NZXT M59) Make sure you don't order both. If you drop the antec 300 and the OCZ 600 you can bundle this PSU with the hard drive he suggested and be all set using the rest of that build.
