Great !!
By the way today until sunday are having PC Fair here in M'sia, will be getting a few stuff there for my rig.
So far what i'm going to grab are
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6400
M/B: Gigabyte 965P-DS3
GPU: 7300GT 256MB GDDR3
HDD: 160GB SATA2
PSU: Cooler Master True Power 450W

You need to stop hooking up with these guys over at Malay, I bet w/e youre doing is illegal in the states... *shivers*

*sorry, duplicate message*

You guys keep talking about the X800GTO being $3 more than the 7300GT. Where can you actually buy it at such price? Everywhere I looked the 7300GT costs around $80-90 but the X800GTO is around $150!

*sorry another duplicate...something's wrong with the forum today*

Hey, sorry for not being able to reply earlier.
 
Anyway, I'll be back in Malaysia in 2 weeks times, that's after my finals. I'll be there till 5th January 2007, before I go back for my new semester.
 
The X800GTO prices has already increased.
 
And I'd recommend a newer card, which is 7600GT 256MB GDDR3, which is going for $120, comes with $20 mail in rebate, to a total of $100 after rebate.

I'm kinda new here but I just wanted to compliment the OP for a job WELL DONE!
 
I like your method of presentation. Even if a person does not follow your list EXACTLY, this is a good guide for a novice or budget builder to learn how to price shop and compare specific components.

WOW AWSOME you saved me!

I am a first time poster on this forum, and I must say, next to wusy's overclocking guide, this is one of the most informative posts I've read!

Thanks for all the compliment.

They just want your hott buns WiZ, I'm telling you, dont trust them.

Sure they do ...

Hey  
 
It's gets lonely on ship in the middle of the ocean.

Noice, real Noice.... Look out AMD I'm jumpin ship!!

Intel's ruling the market at the moment with their C2D's ...
Before I build my next system, I might wait till the real Allendales release, during early 2007. They will be running on 800MHz instead of 1066MHz, and we'd only need DDR2-400 to run at stock, and could overclock a hell lot with a 667/675MHz DDR2 ... we'll have to see if they overclock well ... If I do happen do build one of those in, I'll write another cool guide as an update over this one ...

Not to mention the cheap a$s prices on P965 by then  

Hopefully the RD600 proves to be a better OC chipset than 965P.

It is, it definitely is. Just imagine a Ultra-D for Intel  

I'd pee myself.

I'd have to see how well they overclock, coz my main concern is my budget. If the price is a bit too outrageous, it'd pass out on it at least for a while. I don't think I can afford CrossFire nor SLi ... meh ...

Price and overclocking, they both will be outrageous    
I might be going to fanboy here, but to hell with that.
