My upgrades are almost finalized

I'm pretty much decided on what I'm going to get:
1) Modular PSU and bigger hard-drive for storage:
OCZ ModXStream 600 Watt + WD 640gb 7200rpm 16mb combo: $124.99

2) Better processor, quad core:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 on Ebay with Cashback & Discount: $140

3) Memory:
OCZ Reaper 800 4gb kit on Ebay with Cashback: $40

4) CPU Cooler and wire management products:
Xigmatek 1283, 3x Yate Loon 120mm Medium, 3-pin extenders: $58

5) LG Blu-Ray/ HD-DVD combo: $94

I was going to upgrade my GPU but I don't really need to. I can max out COD4, Gears of War, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3 and Source games and that's all I play. I'll hold out for GT200b and the next ATI wave to see what prices are like.

I already have an Accelero S1 Rev 2 with a 120mm attached. Great temps.

That's a nice and cheap build. Way to take advantage of the cash back too. Good picks!

sounds good, just one suggestion though maybe get an e8500 instead of an q6600???

Why?

Faster clocked dual cores will peform better in games than a slower clocked quad core, ateleast thats what they say
