I would maybe up the video card a bit, to at least a 6800gt. Maybe wait a few weeks for some of the new tech to come out, things will drop in price.

I saw those prices for the 6800GT but there so pricey

You called it a Gaming rig so you have to spend a lil bit more in the video card area ...

Considering the benchmarks on the games I play Raven Shield and Battlefield2 you can run them all on high on that one graphic card.

certainly not at high resolution and AA & AF cranked up !

If you want to stick with the 6600GT and have room to upgrade in the future, why not go with an SLI mobo?

Can you describe this stuff to me please? I'm new to the PCI-E scene so I don't know all this stuff yet

Will this do?
