I'm having issues with my computer right now, so I have decided to build a new one. I won't purchase this at this instance.

The following parts will be transferred into my new setup -

EVGA 8600GT
Western Digital 250GB
DVD Drive
CD/RW Drive
I will use Vista 64-bit
Right Click -> View Image

Mr. Sexi Sup has told me to get a Corsair 650Watt for future upgrades, but I'm unsure if there will be any. (Should I go for it ?)

Games I will play include BF2/BF2142, GTA IV (Once it's released for PC.), and some other minor games.

Does everything look OK, and compatible? Any changes needed? Please keep in mind, this is a budget build.

Karmaz to come for Max, Sup, and Sam, for the help so far.

That CPU is awesome for overclocking. You can always upgrade to a hd3850 or something when you need it.

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I replaced the pitiful excuse for a HSF on my dads E8400 with a F7P. Awesome little cooler. Even pretty quiet

I think mine is damaged. At the last minute I realised I hadnt plugged in the 8pin power connector into the motherboard, I snapped off the little plastic cover and it fell into the heat sinc. Couldnt find the damn thing, and when I finially booted up I could hear the fan hitting it. Must of been grinded away to nothing now Would explain the jump in temps I have seen recently. Even with this case.

My trusty computer just froze in the middle of an essay; Pure win tbh. Gotta start over again with the changes I made.
Can't wait to get these parts...

Just finished the essay.

My current computer wouldn't boot yesterday, loud clanking sounds coming from HDD, then BSOD. Reboot fixed it, loaded HDD Health, everything is fine. Also, had run a chkdsk earlier this week. Also, mobo failed to recognize my sound card, twice so far. Everytime I disconnect a USB cable from the back of the computer, the Ethernet gets disconnected and I have to replug the cable for that. Computer also froze while typing that essay.
My conclusion - dying Mobo.
I'm 16, can't get a job for personal reasons, so I got to convince my parents to pay for this somehow.
