MACHINE ORDERDED

So after the bashing of yesterday on the PC I was planning to build (click here) by zimmer etc.

I cut down on the CPU, mainly because it was overpowered for a machine like that according to some people. I also changed the case, this one has an inbuild fan. All these cuttings freed up money for A-brand parts, and I hope people will like this one.

Changes so far:
core 2 duo E6750 --> Core 2 duo E4600 @ 2,4Ghz, boxed.
3gb of kingston memory -->3gb corsair memory 2 x 2gb + 2x 1gb dual channel)
xilence PSU --> chieftec 450W
huntkey case + casefan --> Spire BlackFin IV, which has an inbuild fan.
samsung 160GB harddisk, 8mb cache [s] --> Western digital 250GB, 16mb cache

Any thoughts on this configuration? *puts flamesuit on*

Edit: absolute max budget is 580 euro, less is better ofcourse.

edit nr2: This machine is going to run vista ultimate x64. Vista likes to hog the memory, and as I can tell from my own experience: 2gb of ram is too less.[/s]

GT is to expensive, lol @ GTS.

E4600, I read good things about it in reviews. Yes it has less cache, but the money it freed up was worth it for buying A-brand parts

I would go with just 2gigs of faster memory. I think your Mobo will accept 1066

With that kind of money, I'd say go buy a PS3, because you won't be gaming fit on a PC

How is this rig not a gamer? What's wrong with it? It may not be top of the line but not "gaming fit?" What am I missing?

And for a last bit of flame:

Why the **** get vista 64 bit which is basically the most incompatible piece of software on the market ?
