The front fan is on the right side, it came with the external USB,Reset and power cables to go on motherboard. It also says its for Micro/ATX so no problem for mobo?

have a look at the Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) memory currently £37.99 inc VAT and doesn't have the big heat spreaders.

unless you have the software go with a retail version of the blue ray drive.

if theres a gap in the case for a 120mm fan you could buy a 80mm to 120mm convertor.

thx dude, already have blu-ray software, and I'll go with the ballastic sport(can that be overclocked to about 1800mhz?) to be on the safe side with the Gelid. Can you link me to an 80mm to 120mm convertor??

So I will still have time to make adjustments, does any1 know if there is CPU cooler that is as good as the Gelid and is very quiet??
 
OK...not trying to ruin the party here...but why are people STILL going Phenom II X4 955BE for a new build, when i3 2100 is faster in general usage and on gaming, and nearly half the power consumption when under load...when both build cost around the same?

Well Im generally want to build a really good gaming system,a lot of browsing and photoshop. I've seen a lot of good reviews about the 955 so want to go for it. Although I would consider the Intel i3 is tht a quad also?? but my budget is about £400 to £430.

Let's say I keep all the components except the CPU,Mobo and RAM. It will cost £250. So can any1 make a good match with the budget of £170 for the big ones? I will consider any of them. Cheers
P.S I seen the i5 2500k which has gone down to £150, So £30 between mobo and RAM ain'tpossible.
I've many ppl on here saying that the 2500k is the perfect one but as I say im on a tight budget of £420. So if there is a chance it would be the i3 for now?

Did stulid not tel you to get the corsair xms ram? I have the same board but use an arctic freezer 7 on it and there isnt much clearance. The heat spreader on your ram may touch the cooler.
