oh so he did.

gutted.

and if that's the mobo I'm thinking of, you madre a mistake there as well.

this is why you post before you buy
 
PC6400 is the best speed for the Q6600 because if you overclock it to 3.6Ghz you can run the RAM and FSB at 1:1.
 
which of the following boards?

ASUS P5KC AiLifestyle Series iP35 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard

ASUS P5K PRO iP35 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard

P5K-E is the best board of that bunch. Very solid mobo.
 
Right then I think im going to ammend my order to the following below:




Neo2-FR iP35 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard

OCZ 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 1000MHz/PC2-8000 Memory REAPER X EDITION ENHANCED BANDWITH CL5

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepping (2.4GHz 1066MHz) Socket 775 L2 8MB Cache (2x4MB (4MB per core pair) Retail Boxed Processor



Will be using my existing:

8800gt ultra
Titan vanessa cpu cooler




Can anyone recommend a good gaming case, was thinking about the xclio windtunnel or propeller?

last one i promise what about the

MSI P35 Neo2-FR

compared to the last lot?

Probably a bit cheaper, and a good board. Not sure which one will be best for Quad cores.

I'd suggest the Asus will be better from an 'Auto' overclocking point of view, but the MSI will be fine it you set voltages.

Looking like a nice system ;) Best of luck.
 
ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP AiLifestyle Series P35 Socket 775 Socket eSATA 8 channel Audio ATX Motherboard

or

ASUS P5K PRO iP35 Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard

ddr2/ddr3 mobos dont tend to be that good
 
not to sound stupid. but what graphics card.

surely your old one was / is AGP and the new set up is PCI_E

I mentioned the asrock boardx initially becasue they are a very godo step up from old style to new> but if you are buying new memmory and new g>card(or have apci_e) then dont touch them
They are ok boards, but have virtually no overclocking capabilities
