Intel Q6600 2.4GHz
Asus Striker Extreme nForce 680i ATX
OCZ 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Micron D7 Chip Dual Channel Kit
Antec 900 Case
Antec TruePower Trio ATX12V 650W

i want to overclock to 3.0GHz.. do i need to get a better cooling system or will the stock HS/fan with the antec900's fans be enough? also, i *might* upgrade to the new geforce 9 series and the new intel 45nm cpus in the near future, so i want to keep that in mind if i do need some better cooling.. i would prefer to limit it to something simple to install, not very large, and not too extreme like those thermalright coolers. i was looking at some scythe fans but i dont know if they would do the job.

Either of those will help your pc o/c to 3-ish. They're easy to install, just remove intel stock hsf, & put them in & push the 4 push-pins. No need to remove mobo. Be gentle with the push-pins that can break easily.

thanks, thats exactly what i was looking for. they still seem pretty big though, would they fit with one of those massive 8800 gtx's?

The Freezer will def. fit anything, but the Scythe may be difficult to fit in the Antec 900 case.
