ive got a zalman 9500 on my 3.2d 840, seems to cool it well only OC'ed to 3.36 though.
i fancied a typhoon, and the arctic pro made the biggest diff with my single core 3.2

Okies thanks.

I read a review on the 920 clocked to 4.2Ghz with a bigtyphoon and a delta.

With this setup you can have a 1.333Ghz FSB and lower the multiplier for a big overclock. if you run this Zalman 9500 @ 2400RPM (not silent but not too noisy either) then it should keep it as cool as anything else on air.

You could save maybe £30-40 on the Ram + Mobo but these choices give you a bit of flexibility for the future if you decide to get DDR2-800 Ram.

Looks nice

The System looks so be around £600

leaving £30 for a case.

Will a 6200TC hold back the RAM at all?

And 600W PSU is needed for this overclock.
