out of the loop for a while, what can i expect with my upgrade?

[something_totally_different]

going from a 939 opty 170 @ 3Ghz
2 gig of corsair DDR
DFi Lanparty Ultra
water cooled
HD3870
XPSP2

to

Q6600
4 gig DDR2 Black dragon
unsure of the board yet, waiting for the details.
water cooled
HD4870
Vista home premium 64bit


primarily i play supreme commander, encode the odd DVD, cod4 and i like using AA+AF at my best res on all my games, (1680 X 1050 or HD if supported)



would also like info on what overclocks to expect.

so thats basically it, I am an AMD fan at heart and always will be but i am being GIVEN a quad core and board so i can hardly say no now can i...

will just have to feel dirty every time i use my pc

I hope you are building a new loop for your upgrade otherwise i would advise against your current loop if your swtiching it over (depends on components though).

current loops fine, its a nexxos XP block on a Dtek db1 500lph pump with half inch loop, around 1.5 feet. current cpu temp is at 38oC never breaks 45oC @ 3ghz 1.525v full load just need to find some 775 brackets for it.

since im going from 939 i cant use my existing ram so will be buying 2x2 gig of black dragon.
