and also is a radeon x800GT better then a 6600gt?? cuz they r similar price

I'd get the X800GT i heard a lot of them can be unlock easily to 16 pipe and also consider maybe a better PSU, im not sure what PSU the case you choose comes with.

Not bad. And I agree with TenzoR... maybe get a better PSU and get a case without a PSU. Unless you're getting a brand of case that also makes good power supplies... like Antec... I wouldn't get both together.

Also, 80GB is a bit small these days. Depends on what you're using it for though I guess. If you never download anything 80GB is fine.

hm.. i mean if both is left stock which would be better?? i'm leaning for the 6600gt still cuz the x800gt with 256mb seems a bit better then the 6600gt but not the 128mb x800gt

hahaha actually i already have a 120gb hd that i'll be putting it on the comp so it'll be 120+80 which is enough hd space for me

and hm yea i guess i should switch to Antec case or get another psu but other that then the stuff is ok right?

Yeah looks good. You could get an Antec case, which are nice...or you can get any case without a PSU and get a decent PSU separately. And I'm just assuming that the PSU with the XION case isn't a name-brand. It could be fine but it's better to be safe than sorry.

For the price it looks good. Anything that isn't no-name brand should be fine. No point in spending anymore than that. ~$50 for the PSU on a ~$800 computer seems good.
