Here you go:

This spec includes memory which will clock very well. If you don't plan to do any overclocking you switch the memory to this instead.

Shines is also very good, obviuosly both the cases we chose are personally preference but if your really tight on money then the Lian-Li is extremely good and also he has a better CPU but the Intel C2D's Overclock extremely good so i thought id go for a better graphix card. Also the RAM his chosen overclocks like a beast peoples been saying. Tell us how you get on.

Good choice on the cpu, i wouldnt pay extra money for a overclocked card tho, just clock it yourself, very easy to do.

Well you could get the slighty lower 2.13GHz C2D E4200 which you can easily overclock to 2.4GHz the stock speed of the E6600 and beyond. But if you want the E6600 then it would be a good choice as i can talk of experience as i have one and successfully OC'd to 3.2GHz stable, i could do more but i dont feel the need.

I wouldnt suggest buying an OC'd graphix card as you can do it yourself however GPU's dont come with as good cooling as CPU's so it might be worthit also the case your be happy with as i again have it and its look very sweet and extremely good cooling.

You could probably get a lower cheaper PSU however i feel PSU's are the backbones of a good stable computer so its worth buing a trusted branded such as the Corsair so i would stick with it.

Anyway let us know how you get on it, and if need anymore help or assistance then im sure someone all be glad to help.

So i think i will def get the e6600 as its only an extra 20 quid to the e6400 and running at speeds of 3.2 sound great to me the case sound good,is the memory i mention fine or is there better memory out there for the price, and what about the Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP iP965 motherboard is there a better 1 for the price
