ok anything noticable i am missing. i was worried if my fans will fit or not(and power supply)
other than that how does it look|||It's not that bad, but you seriously need a cheaper cpu and get a far better video card. The 8600 is NOT that great at all. Something more like a E6300 if you really need Intel, or AMD x2 4000+ or better. Save the money on the cpu and get the far better video card 8800 GTS 320mb card.

In gaming, it's the video card that gives you the most in speed, NOT the cpu. The cpu just has to be fast enough to keep up.
You didn't say what case or power supply you have. Make sure it is a 550watt or better (650-750watt if wanting to use sli or crossfire).|||You are on the right track.
I agree with the previous post. It's the Video card you should splurge on.
The CPU's are not the bottleneck (not yet anyways).
If I were you, I would go with the socket AM2 6000X2 processor. (I think they're only a couple hundred bucks right now)..
If you have the funds left over... look into getting a WD Raptor drive.
