Everything will work just fine

Although out of personal choice I'd buy a different case and PSU.

Also, not wanting 4Gb ram?

That case is awesome.

Dear god no.

I would pick another ram ( 4GbPC8500), P5Q-Deluxe over Pro.

Whats so special about the deluxe version that makes it worth £40 more?

Bassmansam · 15 Oct 2008 at 23:34

What don't you like about the case out of interest?

I think it's a good case, it just lacks cable tidying space and it's a bit plain inside.

Thanks for the input guys, but regarding the case as long as it fits in its ok for me ( not into the fancy stuff !!). What is wrong with the PSU? And I am on a budget of around £650 so memory for XP or vista is ok at the mo but I am listening !!! Anymore ideas appreciated...

Small, no way of tiding cables, and it is horribly ugly.

Looks nice, but I like the look of the antec and the reviews look good on it. Is that fan on the side of your one standard?
Just out of interest what is the best core duo you can put in the asus pro p5 board? Is it the e8600?
