Can anyone help me out a little on what to expect/do when i 1st start up my computer and it works I want to over clock the Q6600, but i dont no how to do it or if i should do it.

Thanks

Dont even mess with overclocking until you have the entire computer built, running, and configured. You shouldn't have to even enter the BIOS in order to install the OS. Drivers are installed from within the OS (Windows), by going to each manufacturers website.

Once you have the OS installed and configured with the latest drivers, then come back here for help on overclocking.
