this good for 1200? i got Vista already.... 

If I were you, I'd swap out that 680i motherboard for a 650i one. With the extra difference in cash (at least $50 to $75), I would recommend looking into getting something like a Tuniq Tower and overclocking that e6300.

Everything else looks (from a quick glance), fine, though. 

wouldnt a 680i be more capable of handling a later upgrade? i plan to upgrade later in 2 years.... so this one i could drop a quad core once the price drops to something i can stomach.newbpwnage

Perhaps I'm totally overlooking something (and in which case, I'm sorry), but as long as the socket remains the same, an Intel quad core processor will work just fine in a 650i motherboard.  

If you can wait 2 weeks, apparently there are going to be some pretty decent price drops on the Core 2 Duos on the 22nd.nosferatu

The FSB needs to be the same too, iirc. 1066FSB on a proc needs a 1066FSB on the board.HostileEffect

yea i know. i think im going to..... i really wanna order now... but i know ill get a better proc it i wait.

Yup. They both are/support 1066MHZ FSB's.
