Ultra UV Wizard Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with UV Reactive Clear Side, Front USB and Firewire Ports (Open Box)
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1460127&sku=ULT31742 ON

Need a reaction to all of this because this will replace a 3 year old computer that needs to be replaced for games. Can't wait much longer for new parts.

Anyways the PSU/Case combo is pretty much set. I keep hearing Ultra PSUs being bashed here so I found a number of reviews online and they all said good things about the X2 Connect. The UV-reactive case should look nice with the UV PSU.

Really need someone to check the Processor/Mobo/RAM and tell me if it's a good combination.

Thanks for any help.


EDIT: Also would this fan be compatible with the processor? Would it be a good fan for it?

bah, has no one acutally built one of these things yet?

Some lucky people over at XS, and a few people from the UK.

Does DDR2 800mhz increase performace enough to justify the increased price?

*Edited to make it clear what type.*
 
There should some ddr2 sets of memory just about the same price as the ram he's chosen.
