Right guys will be building my new system just after christmas

Right parts i will be using from my current setup

-Corsair HX 520
-WD 500 Gig AAKS
-Monitor 19"(1280x1024)
-Keyboard/mouse/speakers

Right decided to go for the 2180 and overclock to about 3Ghz - 3.3Ghz(then get a quad penryn in say about 6 months)

Decided on the GT as anything faster(GTS/GTX) would be wasted on my 19"

Motherboard im unsure of, its either the gigabyte, the Abit IP35 or the asus P5K E

My Budget is around £550 (£600 max)

Some parts are coming from here and some from a competitor making the total of the rig below £515 inc vat and delivery

what do you guys think, anything that could be changed

All looks fine to me, I don't know anything about the case but if you are at all unsure about it then a quick search through the Case Central sub-forum should throw up a few opinions.

You might find a Akasa Eclipse a quality case to work with, but otherwise your sepc looks spot on. Also you might try a Tuniq Tower, a little more hassle to get on but much better temps.
