New build, loose ends
I want to make sure that I have all the loose ends taken care of before I begin my build. Here is my current build, which I shall be ordering soon. I'll probably be ordering piece by piece, starting with the mobo, case, and power supply first, and then order the other components later.
My main question is do you think I will need better cooling for my processor with this setup? 1. Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16811129021 2. Mobo: EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813188013 3. Video Card: EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130072 4. Power Supply: SILVERSTONE ST1000 ATX12V / EPS12V 1000W Power Supply - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16817256020 5. Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80562Q6600 - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16819115017 6. RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820145176 7. Hard Drive: Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16822136012 |

Generally, the heatsink/fan that comes with the CPU is sufficient for cooling the CPU. if you'd like cooler temps and have the ability to do more without putting too much stress on it, i would probably get an aftermarket heatsink/fan. Also, you might (and this is 100% optional) invest in some Arctic cooling thermal paste products. They work wonders.
