So you save around £600 quid which is nice. Oh couldn't find a black coolermaster case but u could always find one elsewhere or change your components to silver your choice. Didin't know if you wanted monitor or keyboard etc. I would also probably go for a Seasonic PSU as they are very good. I obviously didn't know how much storage you would need, but personally I would choose this instead of the WD 250GB I have quoted:

REFERENCE DESCRIPTION QUANTITY PRICE COST REMOVE
HD-015-WD Western Digital Raptor 74GB WD740GD 10,000RPM SATA 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-015-WD)
£93.50 £93.50
HD-070-WD Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 3200KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-070-WD)
£73.95 £73.95
Subtotal £167.45
Shipping (City Link Parcel Next Day (Delivered Mon-Fri)) £8.00
VAT £30.71
Total £206.16


May add a little to your overall system but think its well worth it.
 
No problem mate happy to help.

Obviously you could choose a completely different case its up to you what stye u like etc, just look in the cases forum for more info on what to avoid etc. Also don't know if ** an audiophile lol but personally don't think its worth getting the Creative XFI fatality, unless u need all the features of the front bay. If you don't need that just go for the Extreme version.
