Corsair TX 750W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU £69.99 (£82.24)
Samsung SpinPoint F1 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD642JJ) £49.99 (£58.74)
Hiper Osiris - Silver £72.99 (£85.76)
GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Black Dragon DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GB24GB8500C5DC) £63.99 (£75.19)
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz Guaranteed to run at 3.30GHZ (1466FSB) - Retail £105.99 (£124.54)
Abit IP35 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £84.99 (£99.86)
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail £148.99 (£175.06)
Reasons or choice:
I've read that some of the Q6600 stocks are pretty bad at overclocking, depending on what batch you get. I'm looking at pushing it as far as I can go on air, hence why I've chosen the chip over the £4 cheaper version (hoping to get one of the better batch numbers)
Is the ram choice be viable, I've just echo'd the 8500 1066Mhz recommendation from the overclockers description on the chip (just a different manufacturer)
Case choice any good?
Would I need some sort of thermal compound with this also?
Would the MoBo be capable of whacking another 4870 in at a later date?
