    Everything looks nice but you should consider on getting a Q9450 its like an extra £50, so get that instead of Q6600. Just a thought that's all, i found a good price for you on scan click on link below:

    Q9450

    Your mobo does support the next gen 45nm CPU so no worries there :)

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yeh will check out the Q9450. My main concern was mobo, but after more research seem v good so thats great - and as you said it will support future gen CPU's which is a huge plus. :D

    thnx
