Thoughts on this build, and is it all compatible with each other. I want loads of ram and 2 hard drives for extra speed.

Will be linked up to a 22 inch screen 1680 * 1050 for gaming. I'e Football Manager, Crysis, Red Alert 3 etc etc.

I want to Oc to at around 3.2 ghz and more if possible. I don't intend to OC the GPU.

I'm also interested in this spec producing the least noise as possible.

E8500/E8600 instead of Q6600

Modular PSU

MX-2 instead of AS5

Tuniq Tower instead of Zalman

Samsung spinpoints F1 hdds.

C4 version of ram, 4GB is plenty if you dont do any heavy graphics work.

And i think the creative equilevants of speakers were a bit better for the price, or maybe the slight more expensive version.
 
Allows you to only use the cables you need, instead of bunching them up in corner some were taking up space.
The cables just plug in.
 
Looks good to me, I would maybe change the hard drives to 320GB Samsung's or Western Digital's or the 640GB versions as they are a lot faster than 500GB drives especially in Raid 0.
 
may aswell get the asus p5q pro it's only 3 quid more, also I would drop that case and get a different one
with a budget of £1000 here's what I would go for
