From what ive been reading on these forums in regards to the 680i chipsets and over-clocking quad cores, would it be a fair call to say that i could get away with overclocking a Q6600 to about 2.6-2.8 GHz without too many difficulties?
Its getting frustrating at the moment, because every time i think i have a PC build that should go alright, i read a crap review or something of one of the parts and all goes to the wind...
I think i have settled on as follows:
ASUS Striker Extreme
Q6600 (hopefully overclocked to about 2.6-2.8 GHz)
2 x 8800 Ultra's in SLI
Coolermaster Stacker CM 632
Coolermaster Toughpower 1000W PSU
OCZ Reaper DDR2 4GB 4-4-4-15
DVD Reader
DVD Writer
4 x 120mm Case Fans
Zalman CNPS9500ALED LED Copper Heatsink + Fan
2 x 500 GB WD Cavier HDD
1 x 74 GB WD Raptor
Does this sound pretty good for a dedicated gaming rig?
