Hi! I'm building a new computer soon and I haven't chosen all of the parts yet. I´m going to overclock so good air cooling is a must. This is what I have in my list at the moment(and the parts which I'm not sure from):

Asus 8800 GTX
Core 2 Duo e6600(suggestions for the cooling maybe a Zalman CNPS 9500/9700 Led. Has to be 50 ? or under)
Mainboard whith good overclocking options help needed again (price should be under 150 ?)
For the memory I was thinking Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400, but I would like to buy a slightly cheaper kit so please suggest something.
I have no idea what case should I buy. First it has to have a good air flow and second the 8800 gtx has to fit in. Please make suggestions(price has to be 150 ? or under).
For the power supply I was thinking this OCZ GameXStream 600W Power Supply, SLI Ready, 120mm Fan, but if you have something better in mind(maybe with a lower price tag) please tell me and the price should 130? or under. Finally please suggest a cheap 250 gb or 160 gb HD under 70 ?. All help is much appriciated. Thank you already!

where to begin?

im not sure of the prices in euroland, but these are good value in the uk.

zalmans look nice, artic cooling freezer pro and evo120 both give better cooling.

abits ab9 mobo is quite cheap and has had some good ocing results.

patriot do good value high performing ddr800.

jeantec phong 2, you won find a case that cools better for its price(£45)

samsung spin point 2504c harddrives, sata2, 250gb, very quiet £45

thats looks a good psu
