just not sure what cooler will fit/or to use with it ne suggestions would be helpful:D
and it will be a first time build 4 me so ne other suggestions would be helpful:D
 
i think tuniq tower has been recommended for for q6600 builds as its proving good for overclocks.

rest of it looks good mate! Make sure u get some arctic silver 5 compound when u buy a cooler too ;)
 
Personally I'd save some cash and buy a 8800GTS at £176 for all the difference you'll see from the GTX, especially if you don't mind overclocking it a bit.
 
Ive got a few points which are my opinion:

1)Change the psu to a corsair 520w as that psu is overkill and from many other peoples responses is not silent at all!

If you want to overclock and really you should as its incredibly easy with the new cpus out:

2) How comes you dont want to buy the Go? They are ment to be overclocking extremely well.

3) The cheaper crucial balistics pc2-5300 ram tends to overclock to the 1000mhz+ at timings of 4-4-4-12. A bit of saving money for you to put towards the Go instead.

4) The tuniq tower 120 is an excellent cpu cooler and for the price id say the best. But if you dont want to overclock then the stock heat sink would be fine.

5) If you are overclocking then buy some artic silver for the heatsink.


6) I believe on the asus boards the GTX will block some of the sata ports which could be a problem if you want to use them all. Plus the Abit IP-35 board is an excellent board for overclocking and cheaper if you want to save some money and don't need all the extra gimics on the wifi board.



:EDIT: Also i think you should stick with the G80 GTX.




:EDit2: Have you already payed out? if so then its ususaly a bad idea to ask people what they think, especialy if you never asked our advice the first time.
