hi,

u guys helped me about 4months ago and gave me advice on a computer spec...that was before i heard about conroe

. So...i come to again to tap the vast wells of knowledge, here is my spec as it stands:

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 4 7.1 EAX sound card
Akasa AK-182-L2B Amber Ultra Quiet 80mm fan
FSP Sparkle FX600-GLN Epsilon 600W ATX2.0 PSU
lian-li PC-7 Plus Black Aluminium Mid-Tower Case
Saitek PZ30AU Eclipse Illuminated Keyboard-Blue
logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse
Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.13GHz
Asus P5B Deluxe (socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-5499C4 Twin X (2x1GB)
HIS ATI Radeon x1900 XT-X ICEQ 3 SILENT Heatpipe 512MB
LG GSA-H10NBAL 16x16 DVD+RW Dual Layer Rewriter (Black)
Creative Inspire 7.1 T7900 Speakers
Hitachi deskstar T7K250 NCQ 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache

so i suppose my question is this: will this all work together and will it all fit in a Lian Li case? Also i have a moniter thats gonna cost about 180quid so including that i pretty much have a total cost of about £1,300. any suggestions are welcome.

Thankyou in advance

just personal opinion, get a 2.1 sound system rather than 7.1, as the pc ones arnt all that good. also replace the hard drive with a seagate 7200.10, oh and change the ram possiably. Also if you plan to overclock you might as well get *** 1.83?ghz conroe

eeerrr did you not read my spec....i have a 7.1 surround sound system in there. To the other stuff....y go for a worse cpu? and when you say possibly change the ram, *** wrong with it?

have you already bought this stuff? if so my bad.
like i said, if you are going to overclock you might aswell go for the 6300, as it easilly reaches the 6400 without breaking a sweat.
other ram is meant to work with conroes better, such as g.skill.
yes it will fit in your lian li
