just out of curiosity, what made you buy such an expensive mobo and ram, only to skimp on the processor?

that would do 3.0ghz with only increasing fsb, leave everything at stock lol
i would get P45 board with Q9550 and push to 4Ghz with decent vcore (higher multi and more cache.. and not planning for SLI).... anyaway..
8800GTS for 750core 1100mem and 1950shader is save
EDIT: thats a nice board u have

You need a new CPU cooler. That AF7P will die on the QX9650 and won't do too well on your current CPU after you OC it and raise the vcore.
And, there's really very little difference between DDR2 and DDR3, except price of course.

Don't worry though, I've got my eyes on a QX9650. |
