I agree, you don't need a case like that. This is a very good case :cool:

Theres also a black version but its out of stock (I think it looks better)

That CPU will clock to 3GHz with that cooler but it only has a 2MB cache which will limit it.

The E6420 is probobly a good choice here, it will also clock > 3Ghz but the cache is double the size and it will keep cooler from a higher stock speed.

This PSU is powerful enough for a 8800. Very high quality and rock solid.

If your looking for overclockability then go for Crucial ram, its amazing stuff.

Don't let the PC5300 fool you. Its been clocked to 1000Mhz with ease.

Depending if you intend to use SLI in the future the Gigabyte DS3P is a very nice motherboard [ amazing for a gigabyte :rolleyes:

] although it doesn't make much difference. I have a E4300 clocked to 4Ghz on one and it handles it superbly.

I will go get you a spec pic.

Havn't included keyboard or mouse here because I really have no idea.

Highly overclockable system :cool:

Please note the 2 x hdd RAID rocks

I would highly recommend not getting a Hiper psu. Due to consistant reports of breakages and explosions i would definitely get the Corsair over it since your basically guaranteed good quality.
