Its for gaming and also quiet if thats not a contradiction, as I have come to hate and loath the aeroplane noises that come from my previos rigs.

My main concern is does it all fit and in particular the noctia cooler and the Asuse mainboard ?

Also hope to keep it going with modest upgrades at least 5 yrs fingers crossed.

Any advise wellcome as I have not built one for a few yrs now.

Looks good to me except for the hard disk. You should for for a 16 MiB cache model as they're newer tech. Have a look at Seagate's 7200.10 series or Western Digital's AAKS line.

It'll all fit it that case without a problem.

Looks good, a few things i would change though:

The E6700 complete waste of money if your overclokcing go for this one:

Change the Ram to this, highly recommended:

As Billy said change the Hard Drive, The Seagate ones are excellent:

As for the Power Supply 620 is a bit of a overkill, this one would do quite nicely:

Should have a very nice build their.

Looked at the seagates will be changing for them.

I know the case is large, but I was not sure about the heatpipes around the Asus motherboard clashing with the Noctia .

Kudos to you for that.

Looks good, a few things i would change though:

Yes If the processor really is that good at overclocking then i would save money.

The memory I take it overclocks better than the one I had ?

And yes the PSU might get changed would that still run two graphic cards if I upgraded a few yrrs down the line ?

Also think I will go for a
Samsung SM-226BW 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Silver/Black


To make use of the GTX

Thanks that has given me a few option might also squeeze in a TV card with money saved.
