Do you really need SLI? (surely when your computer slows down you'll get a better card rather than another 8800..?).

But otherwise I'd go for a Tuinq Tower rather than the Arctic. Better quality control and realllly good temps on those beasts

Tuniq tower over the arctic cooler, if you intend to clock the e6600.

Oh, PSU? If you need one, the Corsair 620W for sure is the one to go for.

^ What he said Get the 520watt if you cant afford that, or the 550w Antec if modular doesn't bother you.

yeah i will be going sli in a mth or 2 if not then sell card and buy a refresh card and sli them.

i have a 580 psu so im fine with that.

the only other thing then is to change the cooler to a tuniq

that ram ok to overlock with cpu?

Yep looks very nice to me!

RAMs fine. However, please tell me the 580 isn't a Hiper, is it?
