    If overclocking then something from the P45 range is perfect. If planning to go xfire or just want the option look at X38/X48.

    If not interested in overclocking then could save money by looking at the P43 or P35 ranges.

    I think P43 or P35 are easily fine to OC a Q6600 as far as they can go on air, all depends how much you want to spend, whats your budget?
