Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've posted here.. I was hoping to get some info from everyone. I'm upgrading and doing my First Build. I kno enough that I'll be ok with doing it all.. I was hoping to get some info on Vista 64, I'm going to get 64bit, what I have now is 32. even tho I post here in 64 forum. lol. How is 64, overall can you do mostly everything, or is there still plenty of problems and hardware not compatible..

Here is what I'm thinking about doing for my build.. Everyone's thoughts and Inputs, or Changes on this system would be nice.. Please Share..

CPU: Q6600, or Q6700 (is 6700 worth the price difference?)
I can get a 6600 for $195 USD at moment.
Mobo: First thought. Nvidia 750i (Good budget MB)
Now maybe gigabyte ep35-ds3p, or ds4,
OR the GIGABYTE GA-EP35C-DS3R (no slot for Dual GFX, but has DDR3 option unlike the above listed. what Mobo you guys think?
Case: Cooler Master 690, with new Windowed Side Panel
PSU: Corsair 520HX, or 620HX, or an Earthwatts if I'm low on cash
2x2 RAM, Light Blue G-Skill, Maybe some Mushkin
GPU: 8800GT(S), or the 9800GTX (Keep my 8600GT @620MHz til i get $$ for others, & it has the Zalman VF700 w/ Artic Silver 5)
Optical: have 1 xtra, plus maybe a Pioneer DVDRW 20x cuz Cheap
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 32mb Cache
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, or Tuniq Tower
And Anything else that comes to Mind.

This is What I'm planning on Doing, ya I still have to make some Final Choices on a few things.. overall I think it's a good setuip, with room for later, only can do so much, Tecnology will always have something newer. This will do me for a while at least.. Plus it's my First COMPLETE build, I've done partials plenty.. like current system.

Please Share ur inputs, if anyone has any of the items and wants to tell me about how it's workin for them. I'd really appreciate some Feedback and maybe someone help me decide on the Mobo, or a different PSU, something quiet, that will be mounted on bottom of Case.

Thank You Much!!!

My Rig: Sadly, a HP. I was stupid and in NEEED after my old partial build crashed..!! it was DIRT cheap with 50% off at Circuit City. Can't complain
