being as you're going with the q6600, i'd drop the mobo to a p35 (something like the abit ip35/Asus P5K) and the memory to pc6400.

re network cards I use Netgear (don't remember exact name WG311v3 or something) and I don't recommend it

Ok ill definetilty take everybodies advice.

Apart from that does everyhting else look ok.

Also which i did not mention earlier can anyone recommend a decent keyboard.

Thank you in advance

solid keyboard have a look at the cherry ones, gaming wise depends on personal preference something like the G15 or the saitek.

looks fine really, could get the 640Gb Samsung F1 for ~ £15 extra, its a bit faster as far as i know and more storage is never a bad thing

welding11 · 22 May 2008 at 18:40

Would this motherboard work:

Asus P5K-E WiFi Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

and memory:

Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX (2x2GB)

Should work fine mate, that ram is not bad either I use it in my system.

Also go for the 640GB western digital hard drive, its supposed to be very fast from what I've read the samsung is also a good choice too will be silent.
