Im upgrading from my sig to a conroe setup.

Heres what Ive drawn up:

Asus P5B Deluxe WIFI/AP
e6600
Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 2x1GB

Im looking to hit 3.6ghz+ (with watercooling). What do you guys think?

The G.Skill HZ look nice from what everybody's been saying, but its alittle out of my price range.

I was also looking at ths OCZ Ram

So, what do you think?

EDIT: try not to tell me where to buy the cpu/mobo because 1) california tax kills me 2) monarch is going to hook me up

aight. will do

anyway, whats the process of changing out the cpu/mobo/ram? (different chipset)

do i just change it out and put in the xp disk and re-install? (obviously backing up before)

what else?
