You didn't add a fan for the Thermalright Heatsink.
Keep an eye out for the Q9550 and Q9450 release dates.
Going with either of those Yorkfields could save you $500/$700 compared to going with the QX9650.
If you're buying right away you could get a E2200 Allendale 2.2GHz @ $90 to hold you over till the Q9450s are out and still save $600.

hmm, i'm not sure about the heatsink because i just looked around and people said it was good. so i assumed it came with what i needed >_> can you link me to a fan and heatsink that provides good cooling?

You could just add a good fan for the Thermalright heatsink - Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F 120mm $20 is popular.

HSF combo of XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm $27 seems to be popular at the moment based on this review over at FrostyTech.com. Anything in the top 20-25 places on that list should work fine for your rig.

does the fan go on the heatsink? or does it go on teh case? >_<

okay, cool. anyone else have anything to say?

looks good, but i'd wait until the Q9450/9300's are out... they're releasing on the 10th in the Uk so it shouldn't be too long before they come in the states...

and i'd suggest you stick with OEM versions of the software (esp the AV) or go for free alternatives like openoffice and Avira AntiVir

oh, and i know nothing of that CPU cooler, so i can't say much about it, but i would recommend a Thermalright Ultra-120 or a Zalman CNPS 9700LED if you don't intend to OC.

darn, you ARE buying a lot of stuff . hate to figure how much the delivery will be lol

 

[agentofdoom]

i'll look into the oem verisons but i'd also like to know if that psu will be fine for the rest of the parts?
