Need some upgrade advice

if you want a cheap upgrade, then i would say a 7600 seems the way to go, you'll see an improvement, and you'll be able to put some of the spare cash to building a new rig, as its clear you'll need one soon if you want to play the games you've mentioned at those settings. And when the time...

Best LCD with Built-in Speakers?

Here is one of those units i was talking about, although i doubt scorptec would be the best place to buy one, unless you live here in Aus, which you dont. http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/11512

What should I upgrade next?

well if you would sell it, i wouldnt mind getting my hands on the mobo, cpu and ram, im actually getting a 7600 pretty soon, so not interested in that, if so, pricing? [and you could easily overclock a Core 2 6400 to the speeds of a 6600, that would save you some money, for say, more ram...]

Best LCD with Built-in Speakers?

i do remember a while ago, in an old system of mine i had a small unit that fitted into a 5.25 drive bay, it had stereo speakers, cant remember where it got too, but it had decent sound, havnt seen them for a while tho, might be somebody with one in FS/FT.

minimum psu?

If i was him id be going for a 580W Hiper psu, dont know if yuou have em over there, but their very good quality, and it has a max output of 630W, so its good for the price, considering it only makes 18db of noise and is is pretty darn cool too.

you could get much better quality, and for not much extra cost by just getting a small 2.1 setup, its only 2 more small wires.

What should I upgrade next?

but looking at how much he has to spend, it may just be a better idea to go with a new rig, another gig of ram will improve performance, but he wants to spend his money... could always give some of it to me i guess, i really need to upgrade my pc, especially if im gonna buy supreme commander...

need advice on a new computer

Looks like a solid build to me, but like xitshsif said, you probably could get away with a cheaper sound card, and with the PSU its probably better to be safe than sorry, and going with the seagate 7200.10 seems smart. Now go on and order it!!!

Don't standby, simple, you could just Hibernate if you need it to start up quick, but shutting down is probably smarter.

New computer

For multimedia tasks you should go with a better multi tasking CPU, and more HDD space, although the 200GB ext you have should last you a little while.

Just network the old pc to the new one, and tranfer the files over, leave it over night, and it should be all good to come back to the next day.

Critique my Core 2 Duo build, please

if u are planning on adding another GX2 later, then id go with at least an 800W PSU, as those cards suck alot of power But if i were you, id actually buy a different card altogether, unless u want the noise that comes with them, the reference hsf on XFX 7900GTX's are very quiet.

Leave computer on? Turn off for the night?

hibernation isnt the smartest idea, as it leaves lots of temporary files on your pc, which ends up clogging up HDD space, and then slowing your system, but i guess its not so bad if you dont do very it often.
