I also get a 9700 RPO graph card and i'm happy wit hit!!! I play all games i want and that is ok!! Wath i like about overclocking is taht you pay less ( a bit) for your system and you get more performance!!

Before we move onto memory, CPU and the HSF, let's address your motherboard.

Why are you going with a Crossfire motherboard if you are going to use a nVidia card? You need to do a bit more research, SLi = nVidia, Crossfire = ATi. Sure, you can use an ATi card in an SLi board, but the ATi cards do not have the ability to do SLi. Vice versa is the same.

What are the timings for the Redline? Really, I think you'd be safe going with either module kit.

Do they make Venice 3000's? I haven't kept up a whole lot on the processor scene, but the reason to go with a 3200 with the Winchesters is that they had the 10x multiplier unlocked. I've heard great things about the 3500, but I'd say any of those should suit you fine.

As for cooling, I've only used Zalman once. But you can always trust Thermalright.

wow. 3000+ with E3 stepping hard to find. have to buy 2nd hand. anyway it's EOL already, try the 3200+. either change the dfi to the lanparty ut nf4 sli-d version or change gfx to X1800XL. haha. about rams just get those high speed ones. heard dfi mobos had issues with valuerams.

can't go wrong with both coolers.

if u want more info, go read up the reviews. there are tons on them on the internet ... especially for the rams and coolers.
