Hi,

Just about to put the "guts" of a new system together, anybody see anything too wrong with the following:-

Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
£164.49

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz Reaper HPC Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2RPR10662GK) £129.24

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) £343.09

Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler £37.59

I already have:-

8800GTX
2x Dell 2407 24" TFT's
Corsair 620W PSU

Gaming, some VMWare stuff, re-encoding to x.264.

I've thought about just getting dual core instead of quad but the geek in me can't help itself!

Hmmmm well dual core is:-

£150

and quad is £343

so you pay of £43 premium of getting them on one CPU, I think the quad isn't supposed to overclock as well though.

For pure CPU horsepower though I think the quad is pretty good value.
