I'm going to make an assumption that you aren't much of a gamer here judging by the 8500GT? It all looks good although if you are going to be overclocking much I might suggest going for something like the Tuniq Tower instead of the Arctic Freezer as the Arctic Freezer seems to vary between decent and very good the Tuniq Tower always seems to be very good from what I've heard.

Finally a reply lol

I game high but I don't have money for a 8800GTX now so ignore that 8500GT its actually for my media pc.

I don't think my Coolermaster ATCS 101 case will accept a HS which is 155mm high it will just hit the window.

I will definately be overclocking but I think that arctic might be one the best coolers i can get though which are small.

Hows the motherboard/Ram combo looking? no problems with 4 x 1gb sticks yeah?

4x1gb shouldn't make any odds, it isn't like the A64s and their inability to run at 1T. I'd generally suggest 2x2gb because you are relying on fewer parts but I can't see any problems with that.

Fair enough on the reasoning for the Freezer, just thought I'd highlight that there might be better out there.

OK thats good

I'm reading good reports of Overclocking from the other forums,

People have 3.6ghz easy on the G0 q6600 even on stock coolers lol

edit/ Really not sure about motherboards tbh, I went to 4 different ones my current socket 939 rig before finding one that is stable with overclocking.

Would the Asus P5k be stable at around 3.5ghz with a quad?
