    Introducing Arctic Silver 5 With its unique high-density filling of micronized silver and enhanced thermally conductive ceramic particles, Arctic Silver 5 provides a new level of performance and stability. Now available at Arctic Silver dealers worldwide, Arctic Silver 5 is definitely The New Reference.
    Arctic Silver 5 is optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions.
    Arctic Silver 5 contains over 88% thermally Conductive filler by weight. In addition to micronized silver, Arctic Silver 5 also contains sub-micron zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and boron nitride particles. These thermally-enhanced ceramic particles improve the compound's performance and long-term stability.
    Performance 3 to 12 degrees centigrade lower CPU full load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads when measured with a calibrated thermal diode imbedded in the CPU core.
    The 3.5 gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 15 to 25 small CPU cores, or 6 to 10 large CPU cores, or 2 to 5 heat plates. At a layer 0.003" thick, the 3.5 gram tube will cover approximately 16 square inches.

    everything is looking pretty good man, although SLI ready memory is just a waste of time, and you would be so much better off buying a pair of Gskill HZ's instead.

    and the arctic freezer isnt THAT great, go for a Zalman CNPS9500 or CNPS9700, or even a Thermalright 120 Extreme if your that serious about overclocking. But the Zalman ones are more than enough.

    other than that, nice build

    IMO i'd go for the BFG 8800 GT and a BFG 680i motherboard, Asus stuff gives me nothing but trouble, my old motherboard had no working internet connection half the time, turns out its a common asus problem.

    EDIT: I have the exact same RAM and CPU as you're getting, good choice  It works a charm, the SLi ready memory can be fine tuned, and with a supporting mobo, like the BFG 680i, you can indipentantly overclock CPU/memory, and still keep the SLI ready profiles running, which a lot of motherboards dont do.

    why would he want SLI ready memory for a motherboard that doesnt even support SLI?

    ...and SLI ready memory cant do DDR2-1000 @ 4-4-4-12

    this is the ram you want:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820231065

    and dont go for the 680i like impakt says, the P35 chipset is a MUCH better overclocker, so keep that P5K motherboard that you picked out
