I'm planning to overclock my Q6600 and stick a GTX 260 in the future.

And one more question....after seeing my current specs is it justified for me to get a new motherboard just to overclock the processor? Or should I go straight to the GTX 260?

I currently have:
Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz w/ Freezer 7
XFX 8800GT @ 711/1803/979 w/Accelero S1 Ver.2
4 GB RAM @ 800 (came with the HP)
Seagate 750GB Hard drive
OCZ GameXStream 600W PSU
ASUS IPIBL-LB (Locked by HP)
Antec P180 Case
Vista Home Premium 64-bit

of course it's justified, if that's what you want to do. and I hope you're folding on that bad boy, between that 6600 and the gtx260 that's 10-12k points a day, would be a big boost in our efforts to hold off MPC. Plus you could compete in our contests.

Question for wingman99:

This is the second time I see that you recommend the GA-EG41MF-S2H motherboard. By any chance do you know how to get pass the 343Mhz FSB problem, that many users have with this motherboard ?
