I have finally decided on the components for my upgrade which are as follows:
From:
1 x Asus P965 Chipset, socket LGA775, “Commando” Motherboard
1x Intel CPU Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 95W 141.99 1 141.99
Energy Efficient 2.4GHz SLACR G0 Stepping
1 x Zalman CNPS9700-LED Super Aero 29.95 1 29.95 CPU Flower Cooler
2 x OCZ 2GB Kit 2x1024 Reaper HPC 49.50 2 99.00
Edition DDR2 PC2 6400 800MHz Dual Channel Memory
1 x PNY NVidia 1GB GeForce GTS 250 Graphics Card
1 x 800Watt Avenge PSU
To:
1 xAsus P8P67 PRO REV3 B3 Revision Intel P67 LGA1155 DDR3 ATX Motherboard £143.99
1 x Intel Core i7 2600K Unlocked 3.40GHz Sandy Bridge Quad Core 8Mb Cache LGA1155 Processor, Retail £245.99
1 x Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Cooler (Rev.B) Intel LG... £43.16
1 xNoctua NF-P12 Vortex-Control 120mm 1300RPM Quiet CPU Fan - NF-P12-1300 £16.76
1 x Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz C9 Dual Channel Kit £40.99

1 x Antec TruePower 650w Modular PSU £69.56
1 x Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 32MB C.. £39.95
TOTAL £762.39
All to be fitted into a Thermaltake Soprano Case.
My budget is £750-£800 max.
Components chosen not only for their performance reviews which are excellent but also for their quietness which is very important to me.
Your comments on choice and as to whether any changes for the better could be made would be most appreciated.
Also would this system be overclockable to 4Ghz without any foreseeable problems.
Thank you
