Thinking about putting together a new machine and making my old one a domain controller.

The new machine would consist of:
Q6600 SLACR
G.Skill 4GB PC2-8000C5
8800 512MB (from old machine)
Enermax 600w Noisetaker (from old machine)
MSI P45 Neo3-FR

And the DC would consist of:
E6300 (from old machine)
Gigabyte DS3 (from old machine)
4x1GB Geil PC6400 ULL (from old machine)
Simple, Silent PSU (any suggestions)
Simple, Silent Graphics (any suggestions)

I was also wondering what cooler I should go for on the Quad machine or maybe go for a water kit like OcUK H2O or Swiftech kit. Hopefully between £150-200 including CPU & GPU waterblocks.

Any/all suggestions welcome. Thanks in advanced
 
How much are you planning to overclock your Q6600? If you are aiming for speeds below 3.6ghz then any decent PC6400 should still be easily sufficient.

As for the PSU and graphics card you could do a lot worse than the following two. I'm assuming that your domain controller needs do nothing much more than display Windows and very basic graphical tasks here.

Antec EarthWatts 380W PSU £29.99
(£35.24) £29.99
(£35.24)
MSI ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB DDR2 TV-Out/DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail £21.99
(£25.84) £21.99
(£25.84)
Sub Total : £51.98
Shipping cost assumes delivery to UK Mainland with:
City Link Parcel Next Day (Delivered Mon-Fri)
(This can be changed during checkout) Shipping : £8.25
VAT is being charged at 17.5% VAT : £10.54
Total : £70.77
