Hi all, im going to order the following unless people have any other suggestions, budget is about £700. I know some of you will mention the Lian Li case but it's just to plain for my liking. Any comments are more than welcome. I also need a CPU cooler to add to the list but not decided on what to get yet.

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3P (socket 775) PCI - Express DDR2
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
BFG 8800GTS OC 320MB DDR3 Dual DVI PCI-E
Western Digital WD3200AAKS 320GB SATAII 16MB Cache 7200 RPM
Antec 900

That's absolutely fine mate you've obviously done your homework.

For the cooler you can't go wrong with the following:

1) Thermaltake Ultra-120 (120mm fan not included)
2) Noctua NH-U12F
3) Tuniq Tower 120
