Any changes or suggestions? A 6600 is going in it and i already have a VP930.

My main areas of concern are the Mb/ram combo - have they sorted the BIOS issue out or will i be ordering a new chip when i get it?
-black or silver for the case?
-Is the zalman a good CPU cooler or are there better? I`m looking for good cooling and a quiet PC.

Thanks for any help

The Scythe Ninja is better for cooling and quiter if needs be.

My p5w came with wrong bios but I think OCuk have new stock with correct bios but don't take my word for it

RAM looks good value but I havn't heard any reports on it. I have G.Skill HZ which is excellent for OC but a bit pricier

The His Ice-q is a steal at that price- I'm holding out for r600 but with prices like that my resolve is slowly crumbling

I would go for artic cooling pro 7 socket 775.

I would go for OCZ 600W gamexstream psu it might be more expensive but worth the money. I have used OCZ psu's and they have never let me down like other makes have. With a 85% efficiency meaning less heat, quieter performance and energy saving over other PSU's
