Right, so i have sort of finished planning the compy i am going to buy, and i was looking around for better prices on my cpu (q6600) and i found these two prices:
The one i was origionally going to buy:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-211-IN
From overclockers, it says it will overclock to 3.3ghz
and this one on Dabs:
http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=4DWF&CategorySelectedId=11168&PageMode=1
It doesnt say anything about it being energy efficient, like the one on ocuk, or its FSB. On overclockers uk, there are 3 versions of the q6600 up for sale, there is the regular one (which says something about 1066 fsb), then there is one saying that it will overclock to 3.0 (and saying something about 1333 fsb), and another one saying it will overclock to 3.3 (which says something about 1466 fsb). Obviously i chose the q6600 because i want to overclock, getting the energy efficient eddition means that i can overclock it more, due to less heat being produced, but i dont want to buy the cheaper one from dabs and find out it doesnt overclock as well. Im not sure what all this front side bus stuff does or whether thats the setting you need to set it to to get it to overclock or if that is what the proccessor comes as out of the box but basically i am going to ask what one shall i get if i am going to overclock.
Btw i am getting the Asus P5K EPU Intel P35 MoBo

and the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
Basically any help will be great.
