The E6600 will overclock just as high as all the rest of the C2D's.... There really is no use going with any other C2D as it is just as fast.

That's a good mobo but why do you need a striker? The EVGA 680i's have the exact same features pretty much. I'm sorry but the most expensive parts do not mean they are the best and fastest, they just make people like you do exactly what your doing and thats put them in their cart becuase they know people with no budget will do that.

I suggest

E6600/EVGA 680i

Sora has a very good point. The eVGA 680i is a great MOBO, I have it, there is really no need for the striker. Also, I have the QX6700, it IS super fast but honestly, unless you are going to be using Maya, 3DS Max, or some other CPU intensive rendering program, or something like that, there isn't gonna be any point in getting it. I got it because I will be using those programs and it does help with them. They are also very hot and the stock cooler will not keep it very cool. I am in the process of configuring a water cooling system just for it because nothing else keeps it cool. So like I said, unless you are into CPU intensive programs, just get an E6600. Its a great cpu.
