Hi there Just been throwing a few ideas about for a new system take a look any good ? :confused:

ASUS P5N-E SLI, NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI, Quad-Core ready, DDR2 800

Corsair 1GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x512MB)

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) or
Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.13GHz (1066FSB)

Leadtek GeForce 7600 GS SILENT 256MB DDR2 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express)

Akasa AK-955 Copper Base Low Noise CPU Cooler (Socket 775) any views on a cooling fan would help ? :confused:

Holy **** that board's cheap :eek:

I'd take a look at the Arcric Cooling Freezer 7 Pro cooler.

Not really. The e6400 will easily clock to atleast 3Ghz.

Not sure of your budget but maybe get the 6400 over the 6600 and throw the difference at your gfx card
