Pretty much decided on the following. would appreciate any feedback. Just want to make sure on this spec as i'm planning to go OcUK 2moz to get my gear :D

Budget was around £500 for CPU, Mobo, RAM and HDD.

Code: 
        Product	                                                                        Price
CPU	Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz	                                £213.84
Mobo	Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard	        £88.11
RAM	Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)	                £199.74
HDD	Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 NCQ 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM	                £38.76
		                                                                 Total: £540.45

Little over budget but oh well. Sound good? Any faults?

Thanks
 
How about Geil or G.Skill or OCZ PC6400 RAM which saves you £30 on the RAM??

*EDIT* the rest of he rig looks great by the way ;)

All PC6400 will be sufficient to oc the E6600 unless you are aiming for 4Ghz+ overclock, since a 400FSB (DDR2 800 PC6400 speed) will oc the 6600 to 3.6Ghz, and 450FSB will give you just over 4Ghz and oc the RAM to DDR2 900 PC7200 speed, which most decent PC6400 kits can achieve anyway.
