How does this look for a mixture of programming, photo/video editing and gaming

Graphics card to be added later (4870 I think)

I'd be looking to overclock the Q6600 as much as I can.

I'd be happy with that setup mate. You decided on an OS yet? 32 or 64 bit?
Pretty good board for overclocking too.
4870 rocks!

What PSU are you going for? and dont forget that case only comes with rear and top case fans, so a few more needed.

Lol, was gonna jump back in and ask about psu, but you beat me to it. Needs to be a good quality one.
Plus aren't they seated at the bottom of the antec cases? If so, may require long cables.

Not sure on PSU - any recommendations? Don't want to spend too much more if it can be helped. Also what kind of fans should I get?

OS - prob Vista x64, but I get it free through MSDN so don't need to buy it

Corsair PSUs are good such as the Corsair TX 650W. Fans i would go for yate loon, cheap but effective.
