Nice one Coneman

Since this is a budget PC, I'd say: rocking hell

Maybe in the future you can upgrade the RAM and the 3D Card (the 512MB version of the 8800GT for example). But for now you are good!!!

This CPU can easily be run on 3.6 GHZ with the right biossettings, nice system.

If you want to get a new HDD too, try to get WD Raptor, they are not cheap but they are very fast to use for an OS.

8600GT is a good choice, costs almost the same as the 8500 but is much much faster.

Yeah thanks everyone

I plan to replace the stock cooler with a Zalman first. (had one on old system. really made a difference in temperature)

I think you should go for a Scythe Mugen cooler, doesn't cost you that much, it's quiet, and the CPU stays arround 15C cooler.
