Hi,
Just about to place an order with Overclockers for bits to build a Q6600-based beast. I'd really welcome anyone's comments on whether or not I'm going for the right parts!
Main concern is the cooler - will it fit the P35-DS4 and inside the P182? Keen to get one of those cases because I've used one before and like them. If not, can anyone recommend an alternative cooler thats at least as effective, fits the setup and is as quiet as possible??
Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition"
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)
Zalman CNPS9700-LED CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Motherboard
2 x GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2
3 x WD Caviar SE16 400GB WD4000AAKS - 2 in RAID for apps etc, 1 for data
Samsung SH-S203NBEBN 20x20 DVD±RW
Antec P182 Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Gun Metal Black)
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
Sony Floppy Drive - Black
GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3
Vista Home Premium 32-Bit Edition DVD OEM
Anyone know which of the 8800GTs are likely to be in stock soonest!?
Thanks, Andy.
