The Playstation 3 is my only, and will remain my only console this generation for the foreseeable future. I've thought about getting a 360 many times, but it has no exclusives that could compell me to buy it. And I have nothing good to say about the Wii.

It's not hard to tell yourself you don't need a large HDTV. But it's impossible to go back to SDTV after you take the plunge.

Instead of the Q6600, get an E8500. Much better for today's games.

Get Reaper DDR2-1150. It's only like 30 bucks for two, 1GB sticks.

And if you want a full tower, just go with the Stacker 832. Great case, no tools required.

I don't dislike any of the companies.

There are those who don't want to have to deal with the complications of building and maintaining a PC. They supply those people with a prebuilt computer for a premium.

What's there to hate.

Sounds like a bad PSU or a bad brand of PSU.

I've done that with my 750 Quad dozens of times and it's never had that sort of complication.

That board looks fine to me. Do you intend to SLI another card? If you want a great overclocking board, get the Rampage Formula.

You linked your private wishlist. Regardless, my point still stands. E8500, better motheboard, TRUE. If you don't want to bother with any of that, I suppose the motherboard you suggested earlier would be fine.

Well, I see you're coosing to go with an E8400. I'd go with an E8500, get a better motherboard, a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme heatsink and overcock it. You'll get huge performance gains.

I never said anything about required. I said most games in this generation benefit from 4GB.

That motherboard should be okay, I suppose. Do you care about overclocking?
