Quiet Power System Spec Check

only thing i would say is to get a p35 chipset MB as the 680 was/is very bad at OCing quads in comparison. i would also say get the retail q6600, its cheaper.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 Sound Card - OEM (30SB073000002) £43.99

I'd swap this for the Xtreme Music.
It's the same price, has exactly the same gaming features but better quality components.

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail >> why is this cheaper than OEM though?

the retail version is in the "this week only" sale, which is why its cheaper, its usualy £5 more expensive but due to the sale its £2 cheaper.

I'd not bother with raptors I had one of the same, in a 'silent' enclosure and suspended with rubber bands and it was still pretty noisy. Also I'd get a HR-03Plus for the GTX, then it'll be even quiter.

...but of course that's only if you're very fussy about noise, like me.
