So I'm about to order this new build in a few days, looking for final suggestions/comments before I do so, I'm planning on OC'ing my E8600 a little bit (no WC'ing, just ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro), so not sure how far can I reach with just that, anyways here it is:

MB: ASUS P5Q Pro
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131299

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115054

GC: Sapphire 4870x2
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102768

PSU: PC Power & Cooling S75QB 750W
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817703009

or this?

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139006

Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231122

Cooler: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835186134

the CORSAIR PSU comes in a combo deal with the MB (saves about 20$), but I'm not sure wich to go with yet..I already got the HDD/DVD drive/case, thoughts on OC'ing/build in general?

Looks like a good build.

I would go with the Corsair PSU - in addition to being $20 cheaper it is much quieter. By the way - is the $20 combo savings in addition to the $20 rebate on the PSU? I think so since anyone can get the $20 rebate on the PSU without buying the mobo. If so you save $40 and get a quieter PSU.

I believe so, I'm going with Corsair I guess, thanks!

I was originally going with ASUS 4870x2 too, but I've read that there are a few problems with it, so it'll probably just be Sapphire's...can someone confirm otherwise? :o
