What you think of this rig?

[Fortune]

Ok, since my PC at the moment is getting some age on it I feel like its time to upgrade, so I priced up and came to this:

- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 GO 2.40GHz Quad Core CPU Overclocked too a minimum of 3.30GHz and beyond. (8/9 x 400MHz - 1600MHz FSB)
- Tuniq Tower 120 Pro Blue LED Intel approved cooler
- Arctic Silver 5 Heatsink compound
- Abit IP35-Pro Intel P35 (Socket LGA775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
- Award winning Crucial 2GB Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 CAS5 (2x1GB) Dual Channel Kit (Overclocked at 1000MHz+) (Note when upgrading to 4GB overclock drops to 3.25GHz on CPU)
- 500GB Western Digital 16MB Cache SATA-2 Hard Drive
- NVIDIA 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) DirectX 10 Graphics Card
- Pioneer 112DBK 18x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black)
- Antec NINE HUNDRED Gamers ATX Case
- OCZ 1010W Next Generation Power Supply

Now, which version of vista would be best. I'm thinking the 32bit ultimate version.

Nothing to comment really; perhaps 2x 8800 GT in SLI because its cheaper than 1 GTX and its cheaper ;)

currently running an e6600 LCS, each core clocked to 2.7ghz :D 2x2gb ddr800 running at 950, also lcs. running windows vista ultimate x64 with an 8gig readyboost stick.

anyone running 2gigs of ram these days, upgrade to vista x64, drop 4gigs of ram into your system its SO cheap and get a nice readyboost-certified 8gig memory stick its the most noticable performance upgrade ive seen in years.
