Are you planning to buy the Scan pre-built system? Because won't changing the cooler void your warranty? Also bear in mind 775 coolers are an absolute bitch to fit and remove. When I changed chips I had to take the board out, there was no other way of fitting the cooler.
Buying Q9550 parts.

If the stock HSF is likely to deal with a low clock then I won't bother with after market. Not looking to go wild with it (maybe 3.4Ghz as per Divine's clock).
