Hi, My old pc died so now I obviously need a new one.
I need a mobo, cpu, gpu, memory, power supply and case. I have OS, PATA and SATA drives plus DVD-RW
My monitor is a dell 2405 so I need a gpu that can power that at native at a fair clip of speed.
I primarily play WoW but do also play BF2 so I need something that can do this.
My old sound card is an audigy 2 ZX so could reuse that.

Any suggestions?

You didnt mention if you wanted to OC, just add a Freezer 7 or another cooler thats favourable and it'll have plenty of OC potential, as it already has even with stock cooling.

Choose the black Lian Li as a lot are out of stock, PSU is plenty for that system, and the 512mb card will handle the higher res.

I don't run a conroe (or allendale to be specific) system, so it might be wise for someone else to recommend memory as i know some conroe boards can be iffy with certain memory.

PSU is on special and seems a popular brand at the moment, again others might opt for recommending something else.

Other then that, the above is a cracking system.......
