will be building me a wee pc soon, just thought id get some input off u loverly people !!!!!

this is what i plan to buy .....

the reason the for the q6600 is because i will be waiting till the price drop, if it comes down as far as people are saying it will its bought, if not it'll prob be a E6600

i have aready been forced to buy the PSU to power this pc in the meantime, i got a OCZ gamers exteme 850 watt, and it seems pretty dame good...

i will also be buying windows vista ultimate edition but am unsure weather to get 64 bit or 32 bit ? what are the key factors in chosing between the two ?

so, what would change ?

thanks in advance

could do with 4 gigs of ram as a minimum these days.

and go for the thermalright ultra120 extreme if you want the best air cooling around.

Get rid of the raptor, its not worth the cash.

Oo Shexy tuniq! Didn't see those before.

Anyway, MOBO
Newer chipset and DDR3 support

Would wait 47 days for that Q6600 to halve in price, probobly worth it. 22nd July intel has a massive pricecut

Yeah wait for the Intel price cuts in July, you could get a better chip for even cheaper by then.

I agree, these look very good - don't know when they'll be available though.

I'd also wait until after July 22 for the expected price cuts.

so is the thermalright ultra120 extreme a better cooler than the tuniq then ? and can anyone answer my vista question ? 32 bit or 64 bit ?

64-bit Vista is a good choice if you need 4GB+ RAM, otherwise driver support seems a little more solid on the 32-bit version. I'm holding off until at least sp1, but given that you're on a new build...

[edit] You can't go wrong with either cooler, btw
