Budget Gaming Build

Hello,

I am planning on using this build for mid to high quality gaming, music, movies, media editing.

I already have these parts of my PC:

EVGA 650i Ultra Motherboard.
GeForce 7600 GT OC.
DVD-RW Drive.
120 GB SATA 7200 RPM Barracuda.

My budget for the last few parts is $200.
I need a processor, preferably Core 2 Duo.
PSU: This is what I was thinking of.
Case: This is what I was thinking of.

Let me know what you think as far as my build so far.

Re: Budget Gaming Build

the E6750 is what I have, overclocks beautifully to 3.0 (375x8) without a problem.

TT's purepower series isn't the greatest. Only the toughpower series is reccomended from TT.

For a 7600 you're right borderline, but for enything higher i'd be looking for a case with a 120mm side fan and at least 120mm front and rear fans.

PCI-E requires 26 amps at 12 volts. That's a 650W PSU.
