New pc build, parts check.

Ok, after a long time of thinking and talking to people, ive narrowed down some parts.. some still are'nt great as im still not sure on what best i can get for my money. My budget is around £600 ($1200~), depending on if i can sell my old pc.

Heres what ive come up with, i want to see if they are all compatible and work well together, and if anything i can improve within my price budget:

Pro: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz S775

Motherboard: Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP Socket 775
http://www.cclonline.com/product-inf...=p5k-e/wifi-ap

Memory: 2x Kingston HyperX 2GB (2x1GB) 800MHz PC2-6400 DDR2

Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB Hard Drive

Graphics: 512MB XFX GeForce 8600GT

Vista (64bit) OEM

PSU: Corsair Memory 650W TX SERIES ATX
http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx...11259,49450000

Cooling: Scythe Mine Rev B
http://www.cclonline.com/product-inf...&tid=scmn-1100

Case: Unsure - Want realy quite cooling as preferance : £45 budget ($90)

Just want to know: are they compatible, will they run fast system, are they adiquate, and if i can upgrade any of the parts within ($15) of each componant.

Thanks

nice board and nice specs ........ I would get the Intel E8400 instead of the Quad unless you are into video encoding or commericial grafix productions ........ if you are a gamer then the E8400 is a better choice
