I'd like to see some comments. I ordered from Scan.co.uk (living in the UK) except for the DVD-writer.

Case: Coolermaster Praetorian 732 Silver full aluminium
PSU: 750W SilverStone SST-ST75ZF Black SLi/Xfire Quiet ATX12V 2.2 EPS12V
Board: Gigabyte GA 965P-DQ6
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 S775, 2.13Ghz Retail
Cooler: Scythe NinjaPlus with 120mm quiet fan
RAM: 2Gb (2X1Gb) Corsair TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC6400(800),Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 3-4-3-9, EPP
Video: 1Gb XFX 7950GX2, PCI-E (x16), Mem 1200 MHz, GPU 500 MHz, 48 Pipes, S-Video/2xDVI
DVD: LG DVD DualLayer +/- silver
HD: 2x 150Gb WD1500ADFD Raptor Enterprise, SATA150, 10000rpm, 16MB Cache, NCQ, 4.6 ms

Oh, and I took the 6400 and not the 6300 because I prefer the higher multi for overclocking :)

I am quite an old hardcore overclocker, started with my Amiga 1200 ages ago, replacing an oscillator on a Blizzard Turbocard (resulting in an 50 Mhz 68040 instead of 40 Mhz...yes, needed a soldering iron :D). Then overclocked my first PC (Pentium 166 MMX to 200 Mhz before even turning it on the first time). Watercooling, Peltiercooling, you name it, I did it. But for the last year or so, I only had a laptop and now it's time to get back to the game...

Anything you would have done differently regarding my new build and if so, why and what?
 
Thanks.

Looks like the RAM is out of stock :( They are an official Corsair shop and still... damn. Well, maybe I'm lucky and they took the last one out for me, hehe.

Btw, my boss at work got a Core2 6600 which we ordered for evaluation and after that, he took it as work PC. And I told him how easy it is to overclock. He's on a Asus P5W DH without BIOS update and without even changing any voltages, we got it to 3.15 Ghz. We didn't try more, we had to work, but he ran SuperPI and it was 16 seconds... That's with cheap RAM at 525 Mhz (I think it was). And Intel stock cooler.
 
Yay, the online tracking says the "picked" process is done, all that's left is dispatching it :D
