This is for a very close friend so please help us out :D

Limit is £1,300 for everything.

It be used for gaming on his 1080p samsung tv and all sorts of media related stuff.

I got two hard drives that i will raid 0 them, also i want to try to overclock the cpu to 3.2 - 3.4 Ghz. I wanted a case that keeps stuff very cool as his current rig is dying because his choose a cheap generic case :D.

I know it's a poor gfx card but thats on purpose as it will be his b'day on feb 1st and i will get him 1 or 2 geforce 9800 depending on whats needed to play crysis at 1920 x 1080.

This is what i got so far:

With regards to the case, the Antec p182 looks very nice, motherboard wise, a high end P35 would go well with the processor, Gigabyte P35 DS3R, Abit IP35 Pro or Asus P5K, as SLi 9800 would be very expensive, probably just stick with the 1.

The Noctua NH-U12F is a very good cooler, a lot cheaper than the one currently in the spec.

That power supply would be overkill for what i will be running, something more like the Corsair 520 or 620W would suffice.

agree on most of them points.
 
I'd probably opt for something like this, it at least matches the specification above and beats it in a couple of areas but cost about £100 less and will offer the same level of overclocking potential. I know nothing about the soundcard, I just left it in because I'm assuming you have a reason for selecting it. :)
