Fixed the title for you.

That build should be fine. You will be impressed with that case for the price too.

Not sure how well that CPU clocks, but that should make a more than capable gaming rig.

Looks like a killer build. Just a couple things tho, your PSU is more than enough, maybe even enough for sli one day. Also, have you considered the i3 2100? If this rig is purely for gaming very few AMD processors can stand up to it. If you do ANYTHING (somewhat CPU intensive) other than gaming I'd go with the processor you have now.

yea he converts dvd and music alot also ive head its a hex core ith 2 cores disabled aso i think 4Ghz + is achievable unless we are really unlucky (its for bro anyway) yea i saw some reviews on that case and though WOW.

Think i will change the MB for the Sabertooth one though think this is a good idea for £24 more?

Also only putting in 4Gb ram too save more 8Gb was mistake.

Hmm idk, you say you wanna downgrade your ram but your willing to upgrade your motherboard? Any particular reason you want the sabertooth?

 

[blair]

Well 4gb is enough for gaming isn't it? And the saber tooth from the reviews I've read seems to hold OC's better and has some nice features and I can always add 4gb of more ram down the road if I need to anyway, this build is for brother though.
