New PC, need help with CPU decision

[Reather]

Well, I decided against that. And, what brand should I get for my Cold Cathode and where shere should I put it to get the maximum amount of light with the least amount of potential heat problems?

[bombledmonk]

I can't answer light questions as I've never personally bought or moded with them. Maybe someone else will actually chime in on this discussion.

Will I need to trim the heatsink, due to the large size of the heatsink?

[bombledmonk]

I've only heard of people having to trim heatsinks in SFF(small form factor) cases.

[Reather]

Good, I heard someone needed to trim one in an Antec Super LanBoy.
What fans would you recommend from Newegg? Perferably the decibels would be below or at 25. I saw a Zalman one that is included on 1 of their CPU coolers.

Should I get the 7000B LED (Aluminum/copper) instead of the 7700? Remember, I don't need to overclock that much. Not to mention, it weighs a lot less (about 300 grams). And, it has a blue LED!
Hopefully, the 550 watt will come back in stock.

I'd personally get one of the aluminum/copper combo's, but that's your choice as to what you want. Any of them will do the job.

[Reather]

I'm just looking for some advice. They're both Aluminum/copper, so they are about the same, even if the LED one doesn't overclock that much, you don't really need to overclock AMD's CPU's, since they rely on stuff (cache, strained silicon,ect.) to make their chips go fast. That is why Falcon Northwest's new AMD PC is aircooled, since the 100MHz or so faster from Watercooling doesn't match the risk from it. But, for Intel, it is worth it.
Oh, and which 6600 GT would you get? The MSI, the XFX, the eVGA, or the Gigabyte. Take into consideration that it should be QUIET and overclockable (the MSI).
