I feel like I know a fair ammount about pc's, at least I'm not a noob anyway, I can usually do what I want, and fix some for people most of the time. Trouble with me is that when I start shopping, I tend to get excited, and overlook the minor things. Someone double check me and make sure all this is compatible please. And if all works out, I will be ordering this chunk of stuff here in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Depends on tax refund. I am replacing a core2 quad 6600, with 4g ram, and an old 8600gt 512mb. Will likely move it out to the shop, as I feel the mobo is on its way out, will use it till it dies and then repair whatever fails. I always like to start from scratch rahter than upgrade.

I got a caviar black 64 myself and many green 64 and velociraptors, and I never had any problems and i don't gonna change until they die. It's just if he creates a new config, it's better to have a SSD to run the system and games. Awards

I did look at SSD drives, but I can't afford them as this build will already be over a $1000. And I also know that all the ones we have at work on machines and computers are only lasting about 24 to 36 months. A nice catch on the Ram and mobo compatiblity, I'll have to look into that one for sure. As far as AMD goes, I like them so far, I have had several over the years, And had several Intels as well, and sorry Wizid, I will be keeping it until the mobo dies at least, and probably get another board for it after that. I always keep my last computer going until I make sure all bugs are worked out of the new one. I have never done an upgrade, I always start from scratch. The old one usually goes out to the shop, but in this case I may just move it over to the other side of the desk and put my tv tuner card in it. I have many computers and one usually ends up being a test machine at some point in it's life as well. Thank you all for the input, now I just hope the tax man doesn't keep all my money this year, so I can actually order a new build. I'll know next Monday, what kind of shape I'm in.

If you just want to email, and browse the web, and maybe tinker with pictures, then go for it. And they got a lot of eye candy which is where windows got their idea from I'm sure.
