    building a new rig, advice needed

    Hey,

    So finally after years of purchasing OEMs (HP, Sony ) I've finally decided to build my own. Since this is my first time, I'd really appreciate some advice on parts. My budget is $600-700.

    Processor: The cheapest Core 2 duo conroe which I believe is the E6300 ($183 according to Anandtech but will probably run $220 street).

    Mobo: Suggestions? I don't really know much about any new conroe boards

    RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231080
    Gskill 1 GB DDR2 553 $67

    Graphics Card: ? Need to be able to play oblivion at high settings and will spend max of $180

    Case: something with 550-600 watt powersupply $50

    HD, DVDRW, and screen will be pulled from my old computer

    So please comment about the above and add suggestions. Thanks for helping me out.
