Hi, im posting this for my friend (he cant register)
and hes got wondering, will all this work together:

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB).
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series 7.1 Sound Card.
Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case.
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2
Asus GeForce 8800 GTS HTDP 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI.
Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 320GB ATA-133 8MB Cache.
Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

will these run correctly and smooth?
will i need a larger PSU to run my processer?
is there any upgrades or changes i can do to improve my setup but sticking to around £800 budget?

Also, will that machine be able to play games from nowadays very well? such as Cod2/Cod4, Css, Battlefield 2142 etc?

Thanks,
Ross

(Any help very much appreciated)

Hey, what will be better for gaming, AMD x2 or C2d Quad?

Also, a guy emailed him saying this is good:

CPU: AMD X2 5200+
Mainboard: MSI K9N4 Ultra-F
Memory: Corsair 2GB 2x1GB DDR2 Value Select PC5300C5
Graphics: HIS Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB IceQ3 Turbo
Case: Antec NSK6000 Super Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts EA 380 Watt PSU
Harddrive: 1TB

said that would be around £7/800 - is this better than the one i posted at the top?

Hi, he found another card:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-035-BG

Can i ask, does that one work with the motherboard + is it worth the extra £60 over the other card? (card atm = http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-117-AS)

Thanks
