Any suggestions aside from the fact the case is stupid expensive you mean?

It all looks good but then I'd pretty much expect you to know what you are doing since you spend enough time putting together specifications for others.

The only suggestions I might make are that you could easily get a cheaper case that would do the same job. I don't think XP Pro is worth it over Home unless you really need the improved networking. Finally if overclocking you might be better changing the Ram to Crucial Ballistix PC6400 for around £120 all in as I believe they are based on Micron D9 chips.

PSU is OTT, unless planning a serious GFX (SLi/Crossfire) upgrade? Otherwise, 520W version will do

Agreed, esp since you went for the 7600 GT card.

My brother wants that case, and he's got the cash so I thought might as well
