Hey there. Here are the current components that i am thinking about purchasing and would just like some help with some questions and other items that are needed. First things first here are the components that i have picked first. I currently have a mouse, keyboard and monitor so they are fine.

Now the questions.

First off the processor. Is it worth while getting the Q6700 quad instead of the Q6600? Would it be a waste of cash for the small difference?

I am completely stumped on the motherboard. Should i go with a more stable P35 motherboard, or should i get a 680i just in case i would like to upgrade in the future?

What case would you recommend for optimal airflow and suomething that could maybe be used with water cooling if i decide i want to overclock in the future. I'm kinda leaning towards the stacker atm but its a hard choice.

Also would you recommend any other items that i have missed or replacements for the ones that i have currently chosen?

Im basically trying to create a kickass system for around £1500-£1700 so any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions feel free to ask :D

thanks for the input guys. Yeah i had a feeling the Q6700 was a waste.

Cheers on the tips for 2x2gb instead of the 4x1gb.

I currently have a 19" flatscreen monitor but that will be the next thing that i upgrade :D

Ill have a look around on the site again and post what i come up with :p

BTW what would be the preorder wait time on the Q6600 "Energy Efficient 95W Edition" as i plan to order the components this weekend and would that be worth getting over the standard?
