I'm on my way to order these stuff for my new rig... your opinions? Does all components fit with each other? I just need someone to confirm that :).

Case: Chieftec Mesh Bigtower
Power Supply: Seasonic S12 500W
Motherboard: Gigabyte DS3 LGA775
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
Heatsink/Fans: Tuniq Tower 120 for CPU, two Papst 120 mm for case (exhaust), Zalman FM-F2 92 mm intake, Papast 40 mm 4122 for NB cooling.
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5
Memory: G.Skill 2x512 PC2-6400 HZ
Video Card: XFX GeForce 7600GS 400MHz GPU 256Mb DDR2 TV-out DUAL DVI RETAIL PCI Express
Sound Card: Onboard Gigabyte DS3
Hard Disk Drives: 3x Seagate 7200.10 320 GB Purpendicular Storage, 1x WD IDE 40 GB System HD

Floppy Drive: Sony 1,44 Black

Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 740B 17" LCD 8 ms

Do you think this cooling is enought to run E6400 @ 3,2 ghz or higher?

Thanks in advance

Looks good and Tuniq Tower is the best aircooler on the market so you should have no problems keeping temps down. Only limiting thing in OC maybe your mobo but there has been some good results with that DS3 even though it's a 'budget' mobo.

Shell out a little extra cash for 2gb of ram, your gonna want it. The Crysis fansite today speculated that it would require 1.5gb of ram for optimal run.

Isn't the 7600gs agp? I think you want the 7600gt.

I only play strategy games, so I don't need a better video card right now :). Do you think my TT120 will fit together with this NB cooler? I'm abit worried right now since many people said the DS3 NB gets very hot http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/VGAnCHIPnMEM/cl-c0034/cl-c0034.asp#specification
