I will use this new pc for all kind of stuff gaming, movies, internet, photoshop, office 2007......
I will use my current GTX285, my tower, PSU (if has enough power), and sound card if better than onboard GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4!
And i will overclock the i7 860 but i need good cooler for CPU and RAMs to achieve good stability and maximum perfomance!

What do you think about my next 3 years gaming PC, worth the 650€ and is this a solid build??? And help me chose the coolers and extras that my system maybe will need!
Oh one more thing what about my current sound card does GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4 on-board sound card better than mine?
When i changed to WIN7 i usually hear sound gliches in games (Borderlands, FUEL, DarkStar One only happens in WIN7, with XP was everything normal) and sometimes in music (when i surf in the net and listen to music)!

!!!!Thanx in advance!!!!

Your plan is good. The i7 860 is the new king. I suggest you get at least a Hyper 212 cooler:

The e-store has a good selection of cpu cooling. XIGMATEK, CM V8, Noctua and Thermalright U120E (TRUE) are good ones.

Keep the XtremeMusic. Disable the onboard audio in BIOS on the mobo. It will offload your cpu processing power to the sound card. At the moment, both creative & gigabyte sites are not loading for me. Can't see the specs.

Thanks! But which cooler best fits the i7 860?? I need the best around 50 euro.

All of 'em will fit the 860. It doesn't matter which. They're all top coolers. Make sure the cooler is compatible with LGA 1156. Older coolers like TRUE may need a retention bracket for LGA 1156. They were released before the socket.
