    I am probably going to be buying and building this computer when I have enough money which could be anywhere between 3-6 months. This computer is going to be built for Vista and overclocking and gaming. Is there any thing you would change to make this build better.

    I would like to keep the price to about $900 not including shipping and operating system.

    I don't see anything wrong with the setup. I would perfer the E6700 better, but it's more expensive.

    So would I but I don't think I'll be able to afford it but however if I get more money thats what I'll get. Plus I don't see myself using that extra L2 Cache that E6700 has.

    But is that ram good for overclocking I read the reviews on newegg but i don't usually trust them.

    If you can afford an E6700, don't get one, go for the E6600 since it will overclock to E6700 speeds easy. You will probably have more choices and different prices in a few months, so its really to early to spec something out now.

    Yup I know its to early to spec one but I wanted to get an idea if this one was any good. Ill probably get the E6600 or if AMD has anything out that beats intel I might go that route to.

    Don't forget a power supply. Try a Corsair HX 620. It's not too bad for price, and very high quality.
