What do you think? Any recommendations?

anyone?

Everyting looks good, but for the size mb you have the case seems a little large. I would get one that comes with a psu.. Try a Antec Sonata II... Here the link and you would save $80..

alright, i really like the case that I chose though and the one you posted only has a 450 watt power supply, that probably won't be enough power, no?

I think the 450 watt PSU in the Sonata II can handle your rig but why are you getting a motherboard with on-board video if you're also getting a separate video card? I'd go with the ASUS P5B instead. Also, no overclocking with the Intel motherboard (if you're interested in that sort of thing).

Don't you have another similar thread going.

If you'll read my third post in that thread you'll see I said sorry and asked for the moderator to delete it

I'm interested in overlcocking, how can you tell if the MB doesn't overclock?

By default, Intel-branded motherboards do not let you overclock the processor. Look for non-Intel boards made with Intel chipsets instead - for example, the Asus P5B that Cricket mentioned above.

Onboard Video can be handy if your Video Card decides to die. Other than that, it's not so great.

yeah integrated anything (video/sound) usually sucks.

The 450 is more than you will probably use.. I suggested the smaller case, because of the size mb you plan to buy..Way to big for such a small system..But what ever is your flavor...

I find the onboard video useful for checking to see if the system works barebones. Beyond that... yeah I agree with the rest of the guys. Go with a board minus video if you can find one.(usually a package deal with A/V. so may be a little tough to find exactly what you want). PSU is nice though.

Nice build man.

~Will~
P.S. airflow certaintly isn't a problem with that case. lol.
