are you overclocking? if so you might want a better 3rd party cooler like a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775) with a sutible 120mm fan

i would also get a corsair PSU instead as they are highly recommended on the forums

i also hope you have a 64 bit OS to make use of all that ram

I can't see anything missing but are you actually thinking about Crossfiring the X3870XT here? It isn't entirely clear from your post and I can't be bothered specifying up the system to check the overall price, if so I'd suggest you reconsider. P35 based motherboards have one PCI-E 16x slot and one PCI-E 4x slot so it isn't ideal for Crossfire and you could buy an 8800GTX for the price which ought to perform as well probably - albeit I'd need to check the figures to make sure.

get the OEM Q6600 and an aftermarket cooler - you wont regret it.

cheers all, i swap the psu to a corsair, also got the oem cpu and the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme

Yeah i have got the 64bit vista. I also got another thing i like to do let me know what you all think please, i want to swap the 2 3870 XT and Asus P5K Intel P35 to a EVGA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB Superclocked "Crysis Edition" and EVGA nForce 680i SLi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2, this way i can use EVGA upgrade policy to upgrade to new gtx when they are out with the option of sli if need be.

lol thanks for reminding my of the speakers

thxs for the help so far
