Looks good. The 4850 is on the low end in terms of graphics nowadays (especially with an i7) but it will still handle modern games at that res pretty happily. What is your upper budget? If you have the funds, upgrading the graphics to this and the monitor to this would improve your general experience with the PC (both in games and for general use).
 
Was just building a PC in a HAF 932 case this week. They are indeed very roomy, with nice cable management options. Putting the rig together was a breeze, I was rather impressed.
 
I agree re upgrading the gfx, however Id stick with the asus monitor personally, it has better res, granted its only TN film vs the IPS (quite suprisingly at this price) of the dell, so it depends on what your uses will be, if youre always going to be sat in front of it at your deak for gaming/desktop usage, then stick with the asus, if youre going to be watching movies etc from wider angles then the dell is prob the better bet
 
cable management over performance.? :o


I take your point but to be honest, the only game I play is generals online and the GFX ia more than enough for that.
I have a sonata at the moment and it is bit frustrating trying to take things out with limited space and cables all over the place.
am not going to OC play GFX hungary games, so a better case seemed a good idea and useful for the future.
 
Ok changed the specs, for better GFX and monitor. notsure on case though, might go for Antec 300 but not sure how spacey it is. God buying a PC does the head in:D
