Hi guys, I've decided my only P4 2Ghz has fallen over for the last time and need to invest in a new beast. I've not built a PC for a long time and in the interim it seems like theres been one or two developments, I could do with a little bit of hand holding to make sure why I'm proposing actually works together, so any help would be most welcome. I use my computer mainly for 3D heavy graphic work, and am looking at Vista premium 64bit (possibly with an XP pro dual boot).

Spec:

CPU:
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz Guaranteed to run at 3.00GHZ (1333FSB) - Retail

Mobo:
Asus P5K SE Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Memory:
OcUK 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-014-OK

Graphics Card:
XFX GeForce 8800 GTX Extreme 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PV-T80F-SHE9)

Heatsink:

PSU:
Hiper 630W HPU-4M630 SLi Certified PSU

HDD:

Case:

Thermaltake VB1000BWS Soprano SuperMidi Tower - Black


BAsically,will it all work together, and is it a good enough setup to overclock the CPU to the guaranteed 3GHz? Is the case big enough for the graphics card?

Any other helpful tips or suggestions most welcome.

I should probably say I am planning on buyall all this kit from the nice guys at Overclockers.co.uk


Cheers lads and lasses.
