Asus P5N-E SLI nForce® 650i SLI Chipset w/6-channel CODEC, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E MB
G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
320 GB HARD DRIVE
GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
22" LCD HD TFT Monitor

Im thinking about downgrading the RAM to save money for something else, haha.

Eh. I'm only getting a 20inch. That will suffice.

Looks nice, but I would not go with that motherboard, for the RAM, 2GB is enough for now but 4GB won't hear. For the cooling, I won't recommend water cooling since I don't think you will overclock your CPU to the limits. Go with air for the moment. Now for the CPU heatsink you're going to have to check with your motherboard, if the heatsink will fit.
I would recommend the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme, doesn't cost a lot and is the best at the moment. You'll have to buy a fan though. And it will fit on the EVGA nForce 680i unless it's the A1 version, if anyone was wondering.

| I bought 4 gigs of ram from fry's during black friday for like 40 Dollars after mail in rebate so im going to use them all before my dad builds a new computer and steals 2gigs. :] So if you shopped during black friday it would've saved you a lot. Q6600 was only 199$

| Take out 2GB of RAM. If you're running a 32-bit version of Windows (which you most likely are) it only recongnizes around 3GB or so. The extra money is a waste, and you won't ever use 4GB unless you're running a server or something.

Going with the 680i Chipset right now wouldn't be a good choice.

It can address just over 4GB, so 4GB would be the most you will need. The x64 versions on the otherhand can address a whole shitload. You can't even put enough RAM in your current computer to even meet the halfway mark.
