Here are my specs. Pricey, but thats what it is.

All I need is the watercooling parts, so if anyone could point out what parts I need that i can buy from the site it would be great.

So what do you guys think?
 
The Ram is rather overkill for a Q6600 unless you intend to take it beyond 3.6ghz I would suggest.

I'm afraid I don't know about exactly what watercooling parts you need but the rest looks generally fine. I'd probably go with a 24" monitor since you are buying a 9800GX2 as I doubt it will be overly stretched with a 22" at the moment.

Finally do you already have Vista or are you getting it? If not then 8gb Ram is rather pointless as without a 64bit OS you won't be able to access all of it.
 
O, I have a 55" screen where I play my games and movies.
Yeah vista 64.

Was going to go for 8gb of 6400 ddr2, but everyone was saying how much faster it is for the one I choose, so thought might aswell.

Yeah just need help with water cooling parts.
 
Everyone was saying how much faster 8gb of PC8500 was? Are they sure? Unless you are clocking your Q6600 to beyond 3.6ghz as I said it will make no odds either way if you buy PC6400 or PC8500. There is additional memory bandwidth available but again it only comes into play when you are seriously overclocking.

//edit Your money your choice but I don't think I'd be all that interested. :)
