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
 
Just wondering if a P35 mobo will OC a 45nm CPU well, so if you do get it let me know how it goes
