Wow. It hurts admitting that I haven't built a machine in more than half a decade. I'm finally getting back into the system building game and am looking forward to getting my new rig setup but would still appreciate some advice. I've done a good bit of research lately and think this should be pretty solid but would like to have some other eyes take a look and see if there is anything I have overlooked. Deciding which memory to get is what I could use the most help with. I'll be going for stable overclock on the Q6600, nothing to aggresive but I do want to see what she can do. I would also like the machine to run as quietly as possible but still not have to worry about heat issues during extended gaming/folding sessions. I have two 24" LG L246WP(BN) LCDs running at 1920x1200 and will be gaming a bit. I don't need all the eye candy but would like to be able to run most games smoothly for the foreseeable future. For now the X360 keeps me happy but who knows what the case will be once I have a decent gaming PC again.
Thanks in advance everyone.
