Hey all,
I'm jussst about to order all this to build a PC for a mate and am pretty confident it's all good, but I wanted to run it by anyone out there to make sure they don't spot a glaring mistake/omission!

Code:
Coolermaster Centurion 5

550W eXtreme Power Plus PSU

Corsair 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Kit CL5 1.9V

Gigabyte GA-EP43-S3L iP43 Socket 775

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz Socket 775 800FSB 2MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor

ZOTAC GTX260 192 Core SYNERGY EDITION 896Mb DDR3 Dual DVI HDTV PhysX and Cuda ready PCI-E Graphics Card

Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler

Pioneer DVR-216DBK 20x DVD±RW Dual Layer Internal SATA Black Bare Drive - OEM

2x Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Cache - OEM

It's a <500quid budget and I plan to o/c the cpu as I've heard good things about it. What would I be looking to get? Is 10x333 realistic? Just want to check no one sees compatibility errors or has heard about a particular component there being god awful.

The PC is pretty much for WoW only so I didn't want to go overboard. :rolleyes:

Ta!

I'd expect if you can stretch the budget the 216 core of the GTX260, not the 192 core, bt the arctic cooling fan is great work.
 
It's coolermaster like the case, sorry.

Edit: could i get away with a smaller PSU to save cash? 450W or so ?

How much of a difference do you think that would make? As i say, it's mainly for WoW, that damn game. If you think it will make a significant difference then I'll change it!
