Great card for budget PC

XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT43GNDF3

Pros: Excelent performance for the $$, good overclock performance.

Cons: No software included (except drivers disk), only 1 dvi/vga converter.

Overall Review: Purchased card as part of budget gaming rig (3500+, 1 gig Corsair Value Select, etc.). Great performance so far. Runs BF2 (high/medium custom 1280?x960? (one right below 1600X1200) 2aa), HL2 maxed, Doom3 maxed with no problems. Coolbits recomended OC on mine was 590mHz/1.18GHz, which gives about a 14% improvement on 3DMark2005. Runs around 48 C under load OC. Overall, I'm very pleased with this card (considering the price) and with newegg (great shipping).

Great case for the $$

Pros: Lots of room, good airflow (front, back and side fans), looks sweet (especially in dark), good construction, PSU is solid so far (2 drives, 1 hdd, several USB, 6600GT).

Cons: Front volume control would be nice.

Overall Review: Newegg was great (first purchase as part of budget gaming rig), everything arrived early or on time. Good deal.

Great SLI mobo for the $

Pros: Features for the $$$, great looking in case, simple install (though manual could be more complete).

Cons: Manual/BIOS language hard to understand at times (broken English), some BIOS features hard to find.

Overall Review: Great mobo as part of a budget rig with maximum upgrade potential in mind. Though my OC experience is limited, if that is your primay concern, you may want to look elsewhere (and pay more $$).
