Hey All

I'm looking at upgrading soon (this month) to a P4 3.0 probably in a Xaser 3000a case. Now i've had no experience in this area before and there's a TON of conflicting info out there. I was wondering what's a good heatsink and cpu fan to buy for that chip in that case? I will be buying a good power supply to go along with it (probably an antec truepower or truecontrol 480 or 550 watts a recommendation on that would be apprieciated as well ^_^).

I'm going to be overclocking my CPU, memory (which will be corsair almost definatly from what i've read) and graphics card (haven't decided on that one yet) a very reasonable amount and am looking for the optimal means to do this. The Xaser case seemed a good start i'm looking for a heads up from there if anyone can help with which extra parts to get?

Thermalright slk-900u, 947u, 948u or the sp-94.
The sp-94 utilising heatpipe, but I did't see a big difference when compared it with slk-900u
