New motherboard/cpu/ram - any good?

[brownbottle]

Hi,

Currently have these items in my shopping cart. Would these be the best price/performance choice if I plan to overclock and use a HIS 1950Pro Gfx card?

Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.13GHz (1066FSB)
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3
OCZ StealthXStream 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AA1065)

Cheers

Paul

should do nicely .

Maybe change the PSU to a Corsair 520W? Other than that it all looks good.

Any recommendations for a CPU Cooler to match or will the stock one be okay for 3GHz?

depends on how well you're particular processor clocks, might need a bit of extra voltage so a cooler might help.

depending on you're budget artic cooler 7, or noctua are pretty popular.

i recently got a Thermalright MST-9775 and i'm pretty happy with it, fairly quiet and cools better than the default one.

Well, I've ordered the Big Typhoon in the end so everything arrives before the weekend. Didn't go for the Nochua as I've got a coolermaster atc201 and i'd seen other peolple having issues fitting it in.
