Brief update:
Swapped my order around a couple of weeks ago before putting it all through.
Before reading the DP35DP manual I didn't realise that Intel mobos don't allow overclocking at all, I thought they allowed crude OCing, just not as extensively as others, but no. So swapped the mobo choice to a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4, as I was getting a bit paranoid as to the possibility that OCing could mean the difference between it all working at the low latencies, or not, so decided to hedge my bets. And for education. Should easily get over 3GHz.
RAM is Corsair PC6400 @ CAS4, as the new motherboard supports it.
Swapped the Seasonic PSU for a modular Corsair 520W HX as it had excellent reviews and is modular for neatness.
Buying a separate heatsink for the graphics card would have added £30 or so more, so swapped the EVGA graphics card to an MSI of the same version (nVidia 8800GT) as the MSI already has onboard heatpipes and heatsink. It's not passive, but is meant to be whisper quiet due to the heatpipes, HS, and a larger fan keeping it ticking over.
Everything's delivered, apart from the fucking Q9450 CPU which is delayed yet again (the first shipment should've been due on the 18th March). Hopefully it should come sometime next week. Itching to get started!
