Hi, just wondered what you thought of this as a gaming rig?

Processor - Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.13GHz (1066FSB)

Mobo - Asus P5B Deluxe (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Gfx Card - EVGA GeForce 7900 GS 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)

Ram - Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-4200C4 Dual Channel Kit

Im also looking for a good hard drive and case so any suggestions?

Budget is £700 :)

Thanks!

That's a good gaming rig. Just wondering, is £700 your maximum budget?

HD has to be the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10s ;)
 
You could save some money amd get the OEM E6300 and the Gigabyte DS3, then get an Arctic Freezer 7, this will give you good OC'ing potential. Not sure what that RAM is like. As above the 7200.10 Seagate is the way to go for the HDD. Case is personal preferance, for build quality go with Lian-Li, or Akasa and Antec do some nice cases. You will need a good PSU as a base for all this so go with Enermax, Tagan, Corsair etc.
