Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail
I was curious if the mobo i already was looking at is good for this Processor, if not let me know what I should change.. Thanks guys!
Get this ram instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148183 not only is it cheaper but the timing is better and it has micron 9 which will help alot with overclocking and judging buy your parts your going to be doing some.

o and btw, idk if im just dumb but I dont think that ram would fit, its DDR2 800, the mobo i was looking at says DDR2 1066 but idk
also I wanted to add Im already running a 8600GTS slightly overclocked so I might just keep that and save myself some money.. idk
well this is kinda what im looking at, just something I put together real quick on newegg.. I havnt built any thing in a long time so I dont know whats that good... input needed plz! Im trying to keep the cost at mid range.

So I want to build myself a new gaming rig but i have been out of the loop for some time. I dont know whats new and good for parts. So I was hoping for some help. I was looking at the intel e8400...
What parts should I buy to build a new gaming rig withought spending too too much?
So i have a solid computer right now, but my mobo and processor are pretty old.
Im running a amd athalon 64 2.2ghz processor 3700+,
2 gigs of corsair ram,
ACPI x86 mobo,
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS,
Acer X222W 22" monitor
Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
What I want to do is build a newer gaming rig that is fairly inexpensive (not to worried tho), but ive been out of the loop of whats new and good, its been a while since I built anything.. so anyone that wants to help post it up.. Im lookin for all parts so let me kno what works good with what (compatability) and get as technical as you want I could use to learn a thing or two! Thanks in advance!
