New Computer Build-Need opinions

[capone2120]

Ive mananged to convince a friend of mine to get a custom built computer from me. She's got a budget of $1500 and allready has a monitor.Ive come up with this list and need to make sure that everything will be stable and work fine. The computer is for office type work mostly with the occassional Age of Empires. Anyways here goes::

Case:Antec P180
Optical Drive: Samsung 16x DVD-RW w/ Lightscribe
Motherboard: Intel 945P
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB Hard Drive
Memory: Corsair Value Select DDR2 667 1GB(2*512)
Power Supply: Antec NeoHE 500w PSU
Processor: Intel Pentium D 805
Video Card: EVGA 7600GS
TV Tuner: Power Color Theatre 550 PCI-E TV Tuner
CPU Fan: Zalman CNPS 9500
Printer:Canon MP500 AIO
Speakers:Logitech Z-4
OS:Windows Media Center
Plus keyboards,mouse etc.
My one big question is whether or not I should buy the extra fans for the Antec P180(80mm and 120mm) or will they increase the noise too much that it wont be worth it?

Thanks

looks good, wise choice with the cheap dual-core. Adding some quiet yate loons won't increase noise much, but the included fans are already enough cooling for that system. Because it's just one large SATA drive, the exhaust fans should keep the hdd cool, in either of the chambers. Are you sure she likes the aesthetics of the case? Because some really don't dig the mini-fridge case. If she doesn't need lightscribe, don't get it, get a nec 3550a. DO NOT get the NeoHE 500. It's quite possible that the majority of the NeoHE's included in P150s are now fixed, but buying them independently, especially the 500 version might be a nightmare for you. If you want modular, wait for the seasonic M12, should be top-notch and be released within a week or two. Don't get the enermax liberty since many have complained about how the sata and ide cables and others are grouped together and it virtually becomes pointless to have a modular psu because of all the clutter. BTW, 500w is SERIOUS overkill, a quality 300 watt should be fine, but just make sure with the cable lengths or be prepared to buy extensions for the P180. Zalman 9500 seems like overkill, you could get away with something cheaper and still get excellent noise and cooling.
