New PC spec - any comments/suggestions please?

I'm not much of a gamer or overclocker, the pc is mainly for graphics apps, VMware & most importantly I need it to be quiet!

Instead of the bundle, I would go with a e2160, a P35 DS3, and Geil PC 6400 RAM. Much cheaper and 95% of the performance once overclocked.

Edit: Otherwise good. If you're not going to be playing games, the 8800 GTS would be overkill. But why would you not want to play games?

Good idea - thanks :cool:

I'm also not sure about that case. Budget wise, get a Akase Zen, paired up with an enermax, corsair or seasonic PSU. If you want premium, you can't get a lot better than an Akasa Eclipse or Antec P180 (I have one of those) or anything from Lian Li.

I'm currently using a Lian-Li PC6070, so I thought I'd try a different make this time.
