Looks like a decent new old system to build. Or is that old new system?LOL!

[mrbit10]

@codebean it is a decent old system. it replaced my 1999 system with old .net installations. not a new system lol

@al11588 i have exactly this motherboard and the intel Q6600 and it works perfectly since 4 years without any errors/fails. it's an very good motherboard and with my MSI GTX460 Cyclone 1024MB GDDR5 OC Edition it does a good job to run Games like Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops or Counter Strike.

I am not a big fan of Asus motherboards but that fan attachment for the heat sink is a smart idea. The motherboard doesnt seem to have Japanese capacitors on the website so I think the motherboard wont last that long. :(

There is nothing wrong with the Core 2 Quad. I used a Yorkfield to own Applesoldier and Macward66. They may not have the performance of an i7 but overall they still kick ass.

@Atheismrulez

At all the morons replying:

What I'm saying is that if you sell these parts you'll have enough money for a cheap Core i3 2100 or Phenom II X4 955 system, both of which will be more powerful and more efficient.

Very good motherboard, though.

[codebean]

@mrbit10 Yeah despite what ppl are saying I actually think that the old core 2 quad's are a decent chip, especially when oced you'd get close to the performance of an i5 750. Not that you probably need that much performance anyway.

@Atheismrulez I suppose if he paid money for it, and wants a system now while he's got time then why not use the components? Depends on use planned aswell

[TalesOfWar]

@Atheismrulez It's cheap, it still works, and it's more than good enough for what he's using it for (or what 90% of people in general use a computer for to be honest). I remember just 2 years ago that was "THE MUTTS NUTS" and the absolute thing you HAD to have. It still runs everything from then just fine, and stuff from now.

@ljscott1990 well i needed to replace my older windows machine for legacy .net apps that i have vs my other windows machine running vs10
