I'm going on holiday soon but when I get back I'll want to buy a new pc. I just wanted to know what you think of the specs and if you have any advice at regards bootlenecking, better parts etc. I'm trying to get the best most future proof I can getpc. I don't want to be spending over 2000 Euros, that about $2500.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 boxed, 8192Kb, LGA775, 64bit, Kentsfield

ABIT IN9 32X-MAX WiFi "Beast", Sockel 775, NVIDIA 680i, ATX, PCIe

2048MB DDR2 Corsair TwinX CL 4, PC6400/800

Coolermaster Centurion5

ATX PSUXilence Power 800 Watt

EVGA e-Geforce 8800GTX, 768MB, PCI-Express

Samsung HD401LJ 400GB S-ATA II, 16MB Cache

I'm not really bothered getting a sound card and I haven't decided whether to get vista yet.

Thanks.

Are you planning to do SLi now or in the future? If not, downgrade that motherboard to a P35 one. I've heard that the Centurion 5 can fit the 8800GTX but it might be a bit tight in there.

However overall, that a very nice build there.

Yep, its a very good build. Plus TicTacs right about the case but i think u should keep the Mobo just in case you need an extra kick in the future if u decide to get another card. Just a suggestion :)

Get P35 because you better get 9800 instead of another 8800GTX for SLI
