Hey

Ive decided to buy one of these

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 LGA775 'Wolfdale' "Overclocking E0 Stepping" 3.33GHz (1333FSB) - Retail

Someone suggested using the

Asus P5Q3 Deluxe @ Wifi-N Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard

Ive noticed that i dont need the wifi, so was wondering if this was/is similar:
(i.e. same board with out the wifi)

Asus P5Q Deluxe Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Was also considering this ram:
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x2GB) Supplied with Airflow Fan (TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF)

What Heat sink?

Ill be getting an ATI (Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 PCS Extreme 512MB) i dont suppose theres much of a difference between the cards except for the makes.

this will be Run on an 500/600 watt psu. would it be worth getting a 650 gb HD (heard they run slightly quicker)

Cheers !
