Thank you very much for the replies everyone. I think I'm going to try the 980ti hybrid, then just get a decent air cooler for the CPU.

Will this setup have enough power using a Corsair HX620, or am I cutting it too close? Thanks, Ryan

Wow, that went very quickly.

Yeah I think I won't push it any further. This should help prevent bottlenecking when I buy my GTX470. Now I just need one to go on sale!

Looks like I am hitting a brick wall. Windows won't boot if I raise the Vcore beyond 1.325, so I can only push it to 3.33Ghz.

Cool, I will give it a go. I will let you know what I end up with.

After priming for about an hour, my temps reach about 55C, and yes my H50 is installed.

Right now I am sitting at 3.3Ghz with my VCore voltage at 1.325v. I'm debating if I want to push it further or not. I tried raising my voltage to 1.35v and bumping it to 3.4Ghz, but I kept getting Prime95 errors. Do you think I should try pushing the voltage a bit more? What are safe temps for...

I just wanted to post that I am now running stable at 3.33Ghz on my q6600. I started to fail prime95 tests when I pushed to 3.4Ghz.

I am personally loving the silence of my computer now. My Zalman 9500 made my computer sound like a jet turbine!

Thanks to everyone for all of your help! I actually ended up going with a H50. I got it for $40 so I thought it would be worth it.

I have been thinking about the H50. I will have to see if I get good savings using my employee discount at Best Buy. Balane, like you said, the looks don't really matter, my case doesn't have a window either.

I have a nice Lian-Li case, so it should be fine. Would a Noctua be worth it if I plan on upgrading my system in less than a year?

What do you mean by "considering my graphics card"? I'm buying either a GTX 460, or if it goes on sale, a GTX470 if that makes any difference. I want to try to push my Q6600 to 3.6GHZ to decrease any bottleneck between the CPU and GPU. I also am hoping to upgrade my CPU, mobo, and ram to...
