Thats a beast of a machine damn boy

I perfer a full tower

Get a high res monitor and a blu ray disk if you have the funds, ill check and let you know if its compatiable
 
Yeah, it all looks compatible. Enjoy - it will be one sweet computer. Are you going to overclock it? The Core 2 Duo's have amazing OC'ing potential.

I have my E6300 @ 3.04 Ghz right now. It's running at around 35*C using the stock cooling fan.

There's no reason you shouldn't hit 3.5 Ghz at least (unless you get a CPU which doesn't like to be OC'ed)...

Is there anyone that can teach me how to do this?
 
there are great over clocking threads in this forum. Check them out, learned a lot from the threads. They are very informative and detailed, but not to detailed for beginners like myself. I over clocked my Celeron D from 3.33Ghz to 3.6GHz with ease. There several programs you can use to over clock with.
 
no worries i have seen an e6600 go into almost 4.5ghz in a special dry-ice filled computer so, the only things that should worry you is heat. make sure you have lots of fans, they are ALL FACING THE RIGHT WAY because my case side fan was sucking out and my cpu was right behind it and it was raising my temps to 60-70C and now that i fixed it they are 23-35C
