Nice system, but if I were you, I'd wait for a couple of months and would probably buy a new MBO for iCore7 processors, along with the new Intel processor. But, I'm not sure what will be the price range for the

new processors.

If your building a computer i would say to get this case.

its not too big nor too small it can fit most ATX motherboards.

or if you want a bigger case with more fans and so on..

i'll say for you to get the Antec Twelve Hundred

Looking good. I dont like the case to much, but that is me. Good, you got the rite board. Some boards have the PCI-E slots that go over the SATA ports, and over the RAM slots. One thing you should get is a new heatsink, the ones on the Q6600-9300 arnt to great.

but this is my first computer build :)

and my system does not work.... :(

well i have got everything i need.

and well nothing will show on my screen...?

i'm not sure if its the graphics card or something else...? :(

the stuff i have in my system now is:

Intel Celeron D 2.66GHz

Asus P5Q-E

nVidia GeForce 8600GT 256MB DDR3

Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2

OCZ 600W Stealth X Stream

Seagate 160GB HDD SATA

<Unknown> DVD-RW IDE Drive.

When i turn on my comp it starts up with no BIOS Beeps and nothing comes up on any of the 2 monitors?

everything inside is running but nothing comes up...

if you need more info tell me what to look for.

thanks for your help.

EDIT: Keyboard does not light up as it does on my other comp..

EDIT2: MoBo is crossfireX support... will nVidia work (just by itself not on SLI?)

EDIT3: CPU FSB is 533MHz. This is the problem. right? It is the CPU

It was the CPU the FSB was 533MHz the mobo says 800MHz plus. So i had to buy a new one for my system to run.
