I'm looking at this spec for a cheap overclocked gaming rig which will slowly be expanded on with quad core etc to make it a more high end rig, budget is around £250

e2180 hopefully up to about 3.2+

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro ( not too sure about this, maybe something a little better to see me into a q6600 eventually but not over £30)

GA P35C-DS3R

2GB Crucial Ballistix 6400 (1GB x 2)

All to be run with exisiting kit :

7800GT - (probably upgrade to a 8800gts in the near future)
Samsung spinpoint 7200rm 8 meg 160GB IDE
DVD-RW IDE
Tagan 480 PSU - ( Im assuming this will be ok for a decent oc on the 2180 for now and also run an 8800gts soon. I know its tight but I have faith in the tagan :D)
Coolermaster CM710 (chieftec chassis, nice aluminium front)
 
I did have a look at that but i was a bit skeptical about that push pin mounting system, looks a bit flimsy?
 
ok looking at the weights of the coolers theres not much in it so I suppose I'll go for the ninja then thanks, would the ninja be enough to push a decent overclock out of a q6600?
 
Yeah I know the lower ram clocks well I just feel a bit more comfortable buying ram thats guaranteed at the speed it will run at, had some bad experiences with ram in the past.
