    I’d go with Intel and the Freezer 7 pro is a good cooler. It will be a nice little system and even make Verdun look nice to you 😉

    Had one Gigabyte board which failed and was replaced with anther one that also failed…just took a bit longer to do so than the first…ASUS ftw!!!

    Q6600 not worth it, buy a better GFX card I reckon…

    Antec 900 has the PSU at the bottom of the case so make sure your PSU has a decent cable on it!
    I got the same case and had a bit of trouble installing the Freezer Pro cooler with my Hiper type R PSU.

    Quad core = complete waste of money at the moment and for the forseeable future. Dont get sucked in by the hype.
