RAM: 4GB
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition OEM

Watercooler: ?
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 Sound Card: SupremeFX 2
Case/Powersupply: ?
I was wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions of which hard drives, watercoolers or case/powersupply are suited for my system. Thanks!
Do you really want to water cool?
I mean its only needed if youre going for crazy clocks.............and even then 4ghz has been achieved on air with a q6600.
^ take alook (your board should do more since hes on an asus p5k-e)
Im really in a fuss now in saying, "is the q6600 gonna be obsolete come Feb/March" with the addition of the 45nm chips.
It seems more logical to go for say a e6750 and save £50 on something else with my build.
True. I was planning to overclock my graphics card, cpu and ram. So, i will just stay with no water cooler. Also, do you have any suggestion to what hard drive, or case/power supply i should buy according to my specs? Lastly, is the ASUS Maximus Formula Special edition hard to install? Because, I am planning to give all of my components for a technician to install. Thanks!
your choices are good albeit expensive. the mobo will fit fine. for HDD go for the 500GB 7200.11. for case it should be a personal choice. but i'd chose either LianLi PC7+, the thermaltake armour (jr if ya want), the antec P182, or the antec 900. as for PSU id all ways go for the corsair HX520
