Sonata III for Q6600 and 8800gt

For good cooling for hot parts such as the Q6600 and 8600GT, the Sonata line would not be the best choice. As I have upgraded my old Sonata 1 box with hotter running parts (equipped with 2, 120mm fans), I discovered the case just could not exhaust enough hot air. There just is not enough air flow-through in these cases. You could really benefit from a case that has a CAG tube on the side panel equipped with a fan, the bigger the better, and that has dual 120s, one in the front for intake and the second at rear for exhaust. If size and layout is not a problem, the Antec 900 would be a far better choice.

The few times ive worked with the Sonata cases... yeh they are nice, but they do seem a little cramped and dont come with many fans. It should be ok for those components as long as you arent overclocking or aftermarket heatsinks... but if you want to overclock/install more heatsinks or even upgrade later on the 900 would be a much better choice.
