I've been looking for a new system for a while now and I came up with the following. I plan to overclock it and use it as a gaming PC.  
 
  Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz 8Mb G0 Stepping    €176,95  
  Antec Gamersgear Nine Hundred                                 €92,00  
  Lite-On LH-20A1S-15C 20x Zwart                                €32,95  
  Samsung 750GB HD753LJ SATA II 32MB                €92,50  
  2 x MSI 512Mb 8800GT OC PCI-E SLI                    €317,00  
  Corsair 750W ATX                                                 €92,50  
  Asus Striker II Formula                                         €206,00  
  Coolermaster Hyper TX 2                                      €15,95  
  Corsair 4096Mb DDR2 PC6400 Matched pair CL4        €86,75  
 
I would appreciate any tips.
 
Thx Bas

What price differences do you see between the Q6600 and Q9300 CPUs?
Dabs has the Q9300 2.5Ghz  £178.43 inc vat    Q6600  £146.66 inc vat

I have read the overclocking capabilities of the Q6600 are better because they have a higher multiplicator (Q9300 = 7.5x fsb and Q6600 is 9x fsb)
This means you can reach a higher speed at lower fsb.
 
There is an article about it here:

I think the extra % (not overclocked) is not worth the extra money.
