Have I missed out anything?
Any components not suitable with one another?
The motherboard will be a new Zotac 9300 PCB04, ordered elsewhere as OcUK do not expect any stock.

Should I change or alter any fans within the system?

How do I get the picture to work fullsize as other people do?

Depends what your going to use it for, if its just general use then i think its fine.

you do know that the ram you got is a single 2gb stick. (Im not sure if the 9300 can just have a single stick.)

Indeed, I would order 2 of them

basically office work, occaisonal games, net browsing.

How quiet is that case?

Destination · 15 Nov 2009 at 14:54

Would people suggest an alternative case? Or is this my best option regards case/space and psu? I likely won't be adding any GFX crad.

any last words of advice from folks?

Change the E5300 to a E6300.

Destination · 15 Nov 2009 at 21:07

Is the 6300 more up to date?

Intel naming scheme confuses me now, is it based on smaller technology?

It's newer than than the E5XX chips. Runs at 2.8ghz and it's also 45nm.

The E5xxx is range also 45nm.

The only difference between E6300 and E5300 is a slightly higher stock FSB and clock speed

Wolfdale 45 nm process technology
Intel Pentium E6500 - 2.93 GHz (2 MB L2,1066 MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium E6300 - 2.80 GHz (2 MB L2,1066 MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium E5400 - 2.70 GHz (2 MB L2, 800 MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium E5300 - 2.60 GHz (2 MB L2, 800 MHz FSB)
