I felt like that because I ordered my parts over easter and I had to wait for the bank holidays to get my stuff lol

Enjoy your new system :)

Get that. :)

Better RAM than the Geil PC6400.
The best CPU cooler.
Fantastic PSU - more than enough even if you want to go SLI.
Brilliant overclocking motherboard.
A CPU that's more certain to get you 3.2GHz or above than the 6300, but not overkill like the 6600.
