Everything looks compatible from here, but you didn't mention what brand PSU. It's recommended that you purchase a quality power supply vs. using the one included with your case. Corsair is one of my favorite PSU companies, but there are plenty of good options (even on a budget).

I'm moving this thread to General Hardware.

Seasonic and Antec also make great power supplies.

Everything LOOKS compatible. There shouldn't be any issues unless you get some lemons.

Are you aware that you could save a considerable amount of money with no tangible loss in performance by sticking with DDR2 for the time being? Even if you're an overclocker existing DDR2-1066 or even DDR2-800 will push that Q6600 all the way to its limit.
