Hi

I am wanting to build a small form factor pc for gaming and general media use, particular games are World of Warcraft and Eve online

I have choosen so far

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6700 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.66GHz (1066FSB) - OEM

Asus P5Q-VM Intel G45 Micro-ATX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Lian-Li V350A Aluminium Mini-Tower - Silver (No PSU)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (ST3500418AS)

Zalman CNPS8000 CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775)

OCZ Gold Edition 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 Dual Channel (OCZ2G10664GK

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 - Retail (66I-02393)

The graphics Card will be a Nvidia 8800GTS 512mb

Could you advise on a Psu for this pls, and also check the items are compatibly with each other and the case

Regards Andy
 
It looks good, although the Q6700 is a fairly hot chip for a SFF rig - perhaps consider a dual core? You probably won't see major advantages from it in gaming anyway.
 
So maybe this would be better ?

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail

Come to think of it quadcore is prolly abit of overkill for gaming, but then the prices are so close hmm choices choices lol
 
what about this mobo
