Well I'm not convinced this will even work so...

Why get the 4870 512mb when the 1024mb with a better cooler is the same price ;/
Also get some 8500 ram such as this or the corsair when it comes back into stock.
I would also say to avoid sammy dvd drives as i find them to be noisy & it might be worth getting the lian li bezel so as not to spoil the look of the case.

Thanks for the replies and awesome that it'll fit
In answer to the last post - I read some negative points on the cooler fitted to the graphics card and although I am a big sapphire fan I didnt like the 1024Mb card at all. Good point though
The sammy drive also got very good reviews in the ocuk shop, though I hadnt taken into account a bezel so off I go to find the best one
I assume no one sells drives with an aly bezel as standard yet then?
Whoop
for a little bit more you can get a 4890 1GB.. for a little bit less you can get a maxcore GTX260 which will beat a 4870 in most situations.
I'd personally go with the NV card but despite the fact I know its rhubarb I do just seem to prefer NV products.

my question would be why not get a E8200 and clock it - saves some money. Apart from that and getting the 1024mb sapphire 4870 instead (the cooler on that is better than the one you've selected - and I'd put a t-rad on it anyway ) That looks good to me. Yeh T-Rad would be nice

Hehe bearing in mind this is in the SFF section on an matx board I'm resisting the urge to clock it too hard
Though going through the spec one more time prompts me to ask should I leave the scythe mini ninja passive cooled or is a fan needed on a E8500 at stock?
