A simple check.

Would these bits here be a sensible combo for a 4ghz (or maybe 4.2 if im feeling like it) overclock?

Getting that itch to move from my q6600 again and I just want to be positive that I have the right idea about components for a reasonable price moving to i7.

I'm open to other ideas as well, including being told to wait for the next gen of chips (again)

Yup should hit 4/4.2ghz with the right cooler ofourse no probs.

It would be the same cooler that is sitting on my Q6600, from what I have read the Megahalems is up to the task.

Yup don't see any problems with that then, ofcourse wait to see what others say aswell though lol.

Yeah, looks good. Let us know how you get on.

3 years warranty on CPU plus cheaper memory that allows higher overclocks
