Hi, I'm looking to build a PC to do a bit of everything. Programming and a bit of gaming probably the major uses. This is replacing a socket 939 Opteron 175 so will be a huge upgrade and hopefully last me just as good as my current machine. I have come up with the following components - any comments welcome from compatibility to better value for money.

I will overclock and am not too worried about SLI/Crossfire.

The PC will be in my living room and therefore it is a requirement not to be too noisy. I have considered getting a 6870 instead of the GTX470, but the 470 just looks like such good value at the moment.


PS: I just love the looks on the case so that is not negotiable

EDIT: Updated with MB recommended by thrifles

All looks very good, good choice, only one thing Id change would be the mobo, spend a few quid more and get either the gigabyte UD3 or Asus P7P55D-E (theyre the next two down when sorted by price) these both have the new SATA 6Gb/s connectors in additon to the USB3, and as your SSD can make use of that it would be better, plus its only a few quid

Thanks, I missed that, will update the motherboard.

Just noticed the R3 case comes with 2 fans. Would you recommend getting more and if so any idea which while still keeping noise and cost down?
