Might want to wait until July 22nd for the cheaper Q6600. More and more programs/games will start utilizing quad-core and it will be solid for at least a year

EDIT: I am using the 9700NT and it has been a fantastic cooler, easy to install (just don't put the motherboard in the case before you put the backside support on), and keeps it at very safe temps, even under Orthos load and decent OC.

Looking good. Let us know what kind of results you get from the OC.

I'm personally waiting for that Q6600 price drop to be paired with a P5K Deluxe.

Me too except I'm keeping my P5B Deluxe. It's still good after all this time. I thought it was dead, but it was only my memory which failed.

Crittias, looks good to me.

It does seem your going low on the video card but very high on the cpu. I would suggest going with the GTX or get the cheaper vid card and go for the 8900 when it comes out.

 

[Crittias]

Yeah, I've revised my build plans to include a GTX instead of a GTS. It's only money
