HI another system check for you guys

[Drew5364]

Hi guys just registered last night and this is my first post so hope you can help
I’m upgrading the core components in my computer and would like an expert’s view of the following plz.

Abit IP35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) – OEM

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)

Zotac GeForce 8800 GT AMP 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) – Retail

Thermalright HR-03-GT VGA Cooler

Samsung SM-226BW 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black


Just a few questions

I’d like to over clock to around 3GHz will theses parts do the job?
I have an Enermax EG 475AX PSU. Will 475w be ok?
Is eSATA the only difference between Abit IP35 and the IP35 PRO?
Would I be better off with some OcUK PC2-8500C5 or the Corsair 6400C4 or something else?
And when do you think the Zotac GeForce 8800 GT will be in stock?

Thanks
Drew

Hi Skydoat ,Ben M & platinum87
Thanks for the posts

You can get 3.4Ghz at least with that setup, 3.6Ghz is about the max on air for a Q6600 I think​

WoW 3.4 would be nice


So a cheaper 8800gt it is then

And the Abit ip35 pro will take two 8800GT`s but the Abit ip35 only one

Also i think I read somewhere that the Abit ip35 pro/Abit ip35 will unofficially take faster ram than the 6400 is this true?
