Just ordered a new system...

[rezen]

Crumbs, it has been ages since I have built a system. I ended up getting a SN45G a couple of years back and well, it's just too slow now and so I ordered a new system... What do you think?

E6300
Asus P5B-Deluxe/WiFi-AP
Scythe Infinity
1GB Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400
Antec P180
Corsair HX520

Also, how do I go about getting this machine stress tested when I come to overclocking this??

Excellent choice of bits

For stress testing, google stress prime 2004 and grab the orthos beta and run it overnight.

Nice, maybe stretch to an extra gig of RAM if you plan to game?

You haven't mentioned Gfx.

Best stress tool for C2D imho is TAT to check your max potential temps and has an accurate temp measurement.

Orthos or prime for stability.
