That is going to be an excellent upgrade from your Q6600 processor and motherboard.

So i have still waiting on the HDD (970 m2 512gb), but i pretty much have it all together otherwise. I will write-up a big review once done. The case is beautiful and overall very roomy. With the clc280 mounted in front(fans reversed to intake), the hybrid can only mount in the rear. You will have to remove the top case fan since the radiator from the hybrid cant be installed with it there. So i pushed it foward to the middle stop on top. There is a front top stop that a fan could mount but the case wiring is something in the way(I still might do since 1 fan at top isnt enough i think). The vertical mount wouldnt fit, 1 screw hole is off due to the bottom of the mount(will put pic later). I think if the case were 1-2 inches higher then all the issues would be fixed so that the motherboard parts dont interfere, etc. Some of the instructions were vague or non-existant(reason ill be doing a write-up to help others)
