I dunno about the case but for that CPU and GFX card surely you would want a bigger PSU then 400w.

Ok so sounds like i need to spend more than $200 like someone mentioned earlier.

Any recommendations? need to get this finalized by end of this week =)

Corsair 620W & Antec 900. These two will have you set for quite some time though.

Definitely look at a good quality PSU not one that's thrown in with the case. For q6600 you'd want good cooling. Get something with heaps of fans or potential for heaps of fans. May I suggest coolermaster RC-690 for a bang for buck case.

hmm... well this is how it's all looking so far (with the suggested Corsair HX-620 ATX Power Supply and Coolermaster RC-690 Case - i think the antec 900 is a lil too hardcore for me...)

Lian-Li case ftw

Would go a USB Wireless card as well, just my preference. Also make sure you get the G0 stepping of the Q6600.

Not sure that it would matter too much now, after the initial batch the quality has gone downwards.
