Cooler Master 690 Cabinet
A cheap Gforce card ( will get 4XXX ATI card when it comes)

Please let me know if this choise is bad...

with q6600 and true ..no need to worry .. about the mobo, hmm..not sure how good is quad gt? ..how much more for maximus formula over quad gt? everything is fine to me..just the mobo .. and with either mobo u should hit around 3.6 ghz ...

@yogi7272
3.6Ghz on a Q6600??? tough job
but as hes already got a gud cooler, maybe he can hit close to hit.

i am at 3.4 with 650i ultra with true and hr 05 sli .. so on x38 its not tough at all .. tough would be 3.8- 4 ghz range ..

about x38 mobo .. at xtrmeforums .. seen very few threads about quad gt .. most people there would recommend dfi lanparty or asus maximus formula .. though quad gt is good mobo too.. also both dfi and asus x38 can be flashed to x48 bios ..

Q6600 can easily achieve 3.6GHz but with good cooling solution. Q9300 can overclock much better than Q6600 but it has limited multiplier, like other Penryn 45nm dual cores can easily cross 4GHz barrier but not Q9300.
So picking up Q6600 is a better choice and since u choose Quad GT, there is no need to worry.
Maximus also performs same as Quad GT but costlier.

And i like what u have planned for graphics card. Cheapo now, enjoy later.

bro don't go for Q6600. instead go bro E8400 or Q9300.

you can OC Q6600 but you can't compare it with Q9300. Q9300 is replacement of Q6600 it mat be only 7% more powerful than Q6600 but it has a great oc potential plus it is much more energy efficient than Q6600.

how much did you pay for CM690.
