q6600 + others

[xirokx]

Hi,

I am going for a q6600 but dont know what board, (4gb) ram, psu to go for...

I do game i.e. splinter cell double agent, COD4, pro evo etc but I also use photoshop and do a lot of video editing...

I am on a budget of around £350 - £360 that is to include my q6600...

I will be overclocking the q6600 as well..

Please help

Cheers!!

sounds good

is the MSI really that good?

Are the V rails on the PSU decent? I wont be prone to restarts will I? Alternatively it will not be the limiting factor when overclocking will it?
