Am I missing something apart from a sata cable?


Will it need better cooling? Will it be over clockable?


Thanks ALLL!!
 
It will be overclockable but I'd suggest a few changes to make it a bit cheaper, I'd change the motherboard to an Asus P5N-E 650 SLi unless you have a particular reason for the 680. I'd change the PSU to a Corsair 520w and I'd change the hard drive to a Seagate 7200.10 as they are faster and (probably) more reliable than Maxtor currently.

I would also get better cooling than stock if you want to overclock much, maybe a Tuniq Tower, Scythe Ninja or I have been hearing good things about the Noctua. :)
 
I agree with both comments posted, if you could get a after market cooler coupled with a E4300 or E6300 and you could get it easily to E6600 speeds and beyond, with the money saved you could then afford to purchase a DX10 8800 320MB that would out perform the X1950XT :)

I would swap out the Maxtor as suggested, Seagate speed and Samsung for less noise. Both are decent brands of HDD. Maxtor are going down the pan so to speak. For the cooling solution I would definately recommend the Noctua NH-U12F purely because its a very efficient bit of kit and is very quiet!

Apart from that good spec :)
