Help with $500-600 budget rig build

[mk86]

yah that's the setup i posted above ^___~

heh yeah i was overlooking the posts and noticed it, good thing too
Iv'e never had an amd, how does the x2 5000+ compare with that q6600 ?

well it can't O_O

Q6600 is ofcourse a quad core

and the X2 is a dual core

but with that motherboard you can upgrade to a quad core phenom down the line.

Cool, sorry for the constant questions but i keep finding perks with this buy.. for example that amd x2 5000+ comes with no heatsink and fan, will this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3322946&sku=O261-7406 HEATSINK+FAN be compatible on the http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=3642074&sku=M452-6006 MOBO ?

If you see a nice cooler and it say AM2 in the compatibility sockets thing then yes.

NZXT Tempest Case as for graphics get a 4850 or a 4870 if you have the extra dough, get the palit sonic versions dunno but i think the 4850 is out

id also get a samsung F1 or a maxtor 500gb 32mb cache

buy his SilenX iXtrema IXC-120HA2

it will be great for cooling and good for the quad core phenom if you want to upgrade later.
Here's what it's look like
