Just Call me crazy
I know performance/dollar I am totally crazy, I understand this. I am looking for the best performance in a range of 1500 and not over 1600. I am very particular about my mod price as all have been at 1500 something and pretty decent. If you think I can get a better performance and not go over the 1599.99 let me know. All the links come from newegg, so you can probably hit me with a range of 1800 from newegg and I can get everything for around 1500 by just shopping around or using my rebates.

Also, I will overclock, but don't worry about the airflow I have that covered. |

Why are you shopping at an American retailer when you come from the UK?????
anyways if you are worried about your budget then you do not need to get a Q9550 get a Q9450 instead and overclock it near to 4Ghz that would save you some money.
