Sorry, final spec check before purchase

I have got the following - just coming in under my £600 budget...

Any major problems or concerns or should I get a decent rig for a couple years out of this lot?

I would swap out the Noctua for an Artic Freezer 7 pro - half the cost and just as decent.

PSU?

But how noise, even at full speed it comes in at under 20db.

If noise is important then fair enough. However, the Artic Freezer is quite capable of cooling an overclocked Q6600 @ 3.2GHz below 58c.. It's not that noisy either but it is audible.. Bear in mind though, the GPU fan will be noiser.

My eventual goal is to have a fairly quite PC so I'll most likely change out the graphics card cooler for the Zalman VF900-CU or similar. I already have a couple of Noctua case fans, and whilst they don't shift mass and mass of air they seem to move enough.

PSU wise I already have an Antec TruePower Trio 550 Watt - I am assuming this is adequate for my needs from what others are running on them.
