New build, all good?

[Gilbretto]

Just wondering if everything looks ok before i go ahead and order.

If you would change anyhing please let me know what, and why?

Thanks,

Gil.

Thanks for the replies.

Cheers for pointing out the memory problem, the 4x1GB was a mistake...

so...

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Reaper HPC Edition Dual £75.19 ?

or

G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PQ PC2-8000C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit £76.36 ?

Please advise why i should buy a retail Q6600 if i am going to buy an after market cooler? I wouldn't need the stock cooler so shouldn't i save the money and buy OEM?

As for the AC Freezer 7, is it quiet? I use a Scythe SamuraI Z on my current rig and it does a good job and is silent, which is why i chose it again.

The antec 900 is too flashy for me i'm afraid.

Nice one for the extra info.

I shall buy the retail Q6600 then & will probably go for the ACF 7.

Thanks for the advice all.

After doing a search on this forum, i have just read that unless i am planning on pushing my Q6600 over 3.6GHz, DDR2 8500 is pointless.

Chances are i wont OC the Q6600 too far over 3GHz so would it be more sensible to save some cash and go for DDR2 6400??
