The motherboard and CPU you have chosen are going to allow for some serious overclocks. The RAM however will limit you to around 3.0ghz. If you were to get DDR2-800 RAM you should be able to hit at least 3.2 if not 3.5+

If you don't plan on doing any serious overclocking then the XMS should work for you enough.

The Video card is a pretty powerful card but i'm not too sold on their own brand of the card. If you could maybe find a premier company such as eVGA BFG or XFX that would be better.

The Case may give you heat problems as it only has 1 80mm side fan. I recommend at least one fan in the front and one in the back. Extras are nice though.

Your PSU is overkill. Look for a good 400-450 watt PSU. That should be all you would ever need.

thank you btw the ram i selected was 800mhz. I couldnt find a 512mb graphics card by the makers u sed and the cheapest was a bit better (about 768) and it was like Â£400, too expensive for me. is the graphics card ok with that motherboard? What r the disadvantages of the novatech brand Graphcis card?

how r this case and PSU?

You dont need a 512mb card it's just that I trust premier companies alot more in making graphics cards as they have been doing it forever. The card will probbaly work fine so dont worry.

Also the Case is MUCH better. Good cooling in that one. As for the PSU that should be plenty enough watts.

That system looks fine now.
