New system build, everything okay?

I video edit and want to play top end games such as Crysis at high settings, also is that motherboard okay for Overclocking, because I want to OC my Q6600 to about 3.4Ghz.

Looks like a nice build mate. The mobo seems to have pretty decent reviews so i don't think you will have much trouble with it. Im sure many people will offer other cases to look at but tbh that is just personal preference.

All looks pretty good to me, I'd go with a modular psu with lower power but thats just me.

i'd swap the memory to something like the geil black dragon pc6400, will get the q6600 to 3.6ghz.

Yeh, but the geil black dragon pc6400 is 800mhz, and the G.skill ram is 1066Mhz. Will there be much difference in speed?

I'm getting that Antec 1200 basically with a Tuniq Tower to I can stick up my CPU to 3.4Ghz+ so if thats not possible with the RAM i've got then I've definatly got to swap then..

no real difference in speed, add that together with the price difference and for me the geil makes sense to go for.

I'd go with the P182 case instead of the twelve personally. It'll be a lot more easy to live with in the long run, I found the 900 quite loud and brash, but the 182 more refined and very well designed, especially the cable management. Worth a look.
