ja oder nein, wouldst thou changeth anything:

my Asus A7N8X has never faltered yet, so I'll be sticking with them, the P5K seems like a good choice, Don't think I can justify getting the Deluxe over the Express tho:
Asus P5K-E WiFi Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

(£104.56)

I don't really see much gain to be had with 8500 over 6400 unless I do some extreme overclocking, which i', not. 4gb of 6400 are cheaper than 2gb of 8500, and the ddr3 price to noticable improvement ratio is far too high at the moment to justify that:
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2

x2 = £51.68

is there any other option, really?:
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - OEM

(£159.79)

Cooling, should be about right for a bit of mild OCing:
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)

(£17.61)

Graphics:
Asus GeForce EN8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

(£164.49)



£498.13 inc VAT and delivery.

if it's not too late go with a 2x2gig kit. vista will actually use it to your advantage.

edit: didn't notice you ordered 4x1gig. still think youd be better of with 2x2gig.
