1. Thermaltake makes pretty crappy cases. if you're giong for a high end build get a p182 or a Lian Li/Silverstone case
2. that psu is pretty outdated, there are bigger/better ones (corsair 620/PCPC silencer 750)
3. that mb is quote expensive and onboard Wifi is useless and bad if u think about it. you'll want to upgrade to the newest wifi adapter asap and you'll have wasted ur money on the mb. get a DS3 R
4. get a Q6600 over that lowly dual core
5. the tuniq tower will outperform that anyday. or if u must, get the 9700.
!,) Some ThermalTake Cases are not too great ... Lian -Li has a dog or two also but a case is a personal choice, and your statement does not apply to the case that you let your Fanboyism show on..... yes the silver case is 40.00 more than the Black case that is the same design...
Beyond that... Armor is a Great Case most people take the flaps off.
2,) I never was a fan of the OCZ supply as it is known to have Ripple issues at higher loads.
The PCP&C...
Unless it is Modular.. it is as outmoded as the OCZ.....
The Corsair is an Good Choice ..
SILVERSTONE ST75Fis an Enhance in Silverstone Clothes.
3,) The Integrated Wi/Fi is faster than virtually any internet connection out there :
ASUS WiFi-AP Solo
54 Mbps IEEE 802.11g and backwards compatible with 11 Mbps IEEE 802.11b
Draft N is still just that, and overkill.... Bi directional 54 Mbps.. they work just fine... and there are many other features on that MOBO that are outstanding. The BIOS is probably the best between it and the ABIT....
If they are going to Overclock they need the right tools, and that MOBO(P5KDeluxe) or the P5K/E Wi/Fi are less than the ABIT IP35 Pro...
4,) The quad is fine if you heavy Multi..Task... but they are a concern heat dissipation wise.
5,) The Tuniq, Scythe INF, are the best in terms of Thermal Mass, and resistance to Thermal Saturation.... something that the Zalman does suffer from.
Now all you need is Good micron D-9 Memory , and you are set.. Most Corsair DDR 2 PC 6400 that is in Production is ProMos, Elpida, Or Qimonda, IC's they will give you good performance at stock speeds, but depending on the IC anything from Ok performance, to Just able to make stock speeds.
