New Build

[Hellfire29]

These are the parts I've decided to put in my PC and I want to know if they're any good:

Asus drw-1814blt
Gigabyte ga-n680lsli-dq6
Crucial ballistx 2gb pc2-6400
Intel Core 2 quad q6600
Inno3d 8800gts 640mb oc
Seagate 320gb 16mb Cache SATA2
Silverstone FP34b
Thermaltake toughpower 850w

Don't say anything about not getting an oc version and just do it yourself as this part wasn't any more expensive than the standard version.
This computer will be used for some gaming and must last for quite a while. I may put an extra graphics card in if things start lagging or I get one somehow.
Also I'm wondering if it's possible to flash the q6600 to a higher clocked version.

q6600 is upwards multiplier locked. however, there's plenty of overclocking headroom, which the motherboard should do well.

From everything ive read recently, the A1 revision of the EVGA 680i board seems to clock quad cores much better than pretty much any other SLI board atm. Might be worth considering.

At this point in time, just wait another week or so and get a p35 board.
