Oh Look another spec check.....

After struggling along with my current setup I thought the time has come to order a new pc. Have been browsing the forums and have come up with this lot. I want the pc to be quiet as possible, so was thinking get a P180 and Seasonic psu or get the SonataII and save a bit of money..

so can someone just check this lot over and just confirm that it is a good choice and that everything will work fine...

Thanks for the comments, I will be getting the new Zalman for the graphics card and I will look into the hard drive enclousre also.

Do you think the P180 is worth the extra or is a it a fair bit quieter than the Sonata, but maybe the extra case fans will help due to the fact I will be overclocking?

Ok cheers looks like I will go for the P180

Just one more question: Is the Evo 120 any good or is there better, quieter coolers available in the same price range?

TIA
