Looking good. Wait till you get them delivered, great if they all come on the same day. I just love the thrill of digging through all those boxes hehe.

Most importantly, what are you going to be using the PC for?

* Any particular reason for that motherboard? It's a fine one, but there are quality cheaper ones with Wi-Fi built in - e.g. ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP (£114). If you don't need SLi/Crossfire support (gross waste of money to use 2 GPUs anyway) & you're on a budget, go for something that doesn't have this feature (first 2 in this link, or this one). Spend the money saved on a Wi-Fi card & better RAM (see below).

* Get the faster PC2-6400 800Mhz RAM (OCZ/Corsair). No point in skinching on the RAM for such a high-end system, & apparently P35 motherboards are optimised to give the best performance with these.

* The 7300GS graphics card will be rubbish for most older graphically-intensive games, & newer ones - but if games are not your thing then it's fine. If you're going to run Vista on the PC, it may be wise to get an alternative DX10 card instead for the same price: 8400GS

* The Antec Nine Hundred is more of a 'gamer' case, but if you prefer that type then it's OK. Another alternative would be a case with some more 'class': P180 (£70) / P182 (£80).

* Being an Antec case, with the PSU at the bottom, getting this Antec TruePower Trio 650W PSU (same price) may be a better idea. Otherwise, you may need a PSU power cable extender.

* The Antec Nine Hundred comes with enough fans as standard, so adding another may not make much of a difference cooling-wise, &/or unnecessarily add to the overall 'noise'.
