yes i am building a new rig. This is what i got. I plan to overclock the 805 to 3.8 ghz on air without bumping voltage if i get luckey. I will use the 805 overclocked like hell until the dual core 6650 is released or the quad 6600 drops in price. so for the 805 overclock i m not sure if the g.skull ram listed below will support such a huge overclock from 2.6 to 3.8.. well just post your coments and let me know if i should make any hardware changes.

G.Skull ram (not to sure if this ram would hold a high overclock? anyone know?)

dont wait for the 6650 its a waste of money
all they did is to reduce multiplier from 9 to 7 i think
and they bumped the fsb to 333 to make 1333 mhz fsb (quad pumped)
and you can already do that easily with a 6600 and you get a higher clockspeed

the new Q6600 looks very tempting
during this sumer it will drop to around 500 $ us
so for the price its really good

so i suggest stay with the 805 and wait for q6600
