  • Lian Li A-05B
  • Core 2 Duo E8200
  • Asustek P5KC motherboard (P35 ATX GLAN)
  • Crucial 4x1GB PC2-6400
  • ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro (upgrading later to GeForce 9600 GT OC)
  • SB Audigy
  • Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 200GB SATA
  • Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160GB SATA
  • LiteOn DVD+-R/RW/RAM 20x SATA
  • Enermax Liberty 620

Main issues for me: does this CPU/motherboard/RAM combination look OK, and would the Enermax 620 run this system without straining?

I would be running Vista 64 without overclocking.

looks great . and that combo should be fine . though id recommend getting the 9600gt now as your only going to lose money on the 2600pro and it will bottleneck a hell of a lot. psu is fine.

Yeah, the 2600pro is just a stand-in until I can afford to buy the 9600gt. I won't be selling it; it'll be passed on to the missus when she inherits my old rig. ;)

Good to know that everything's compatible. Thanks for posting.

Looks pretty good, just check your BIOS rev when you get your board to ensure it can boot the the E8200.

I have read some threads regards this :)

OK, so I need the latest version of BIOS? Is that it?
