New Pc! double check :D

yeah. stick with the GTX...and I've always been a bit of an ATi fanboy. Bit dissapointed with the R600 thus far. If you are getting the 680i chipset then you will want the extra power headroom for a second gfx card in the future. The OCZ get good reviews so I'd stick with that. Don't forget to check webbies for efficiency stats though! As for the e6600 v e6700 argument, obv the 1x better multiplier gives you better o/c potential, but in most cases the e6600 can push just as hard with good memory/mobo combination, so im not sure its worth the extra cache. As you are going for such a hot system anyway, i wouldnt consider the E4* series.

Just out of interest, if you are spending on a nice 680i mobo anyway, have you considered the high-end asus options? seem to be the best o/c boards...

yep check out extremeoverclocking.com the gamexstream had effieciencies of up to 87% at times! and yea getting a p35 board would reap more benefits than the 680i.

I'd get the blue copperhead rather than the diamond back, I think it's higher dpi etc And it looks lovely(er)

i was thinking if i overclcok my self they mite viod my warranty so i thought getting pre clock wud stop that kind of issue.

How would they know you had it overclocked unless you actually flashed it with the new settings?

Don't worry about overclocking and save yourself some dosh.
