This is my proposed first build. Have a look and tell me where I can improve.
Case – Antec 900
http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15900
I think this is a pretty decent case. Looks pretty good as well.
PSU – Antec NeoPower 650 Blue
http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=28651
Have not spent too much time looking for a PSU, but this seems adequate.
Motherboard – Asus Striker II Formula
http://uk.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=117&l3=0&l4=0&model=2016&modelmenu=1
Decided to go for this so then in the future I can always get another graphics card. I think Asus are good as well.
CPU – Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2quad/index.htm
Not really planning on OCing so this seems like a nice processor.
Graphics card – Asus EN8800GT TOP/G/HTDP/512M
http://uk.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=6&l3=442&l4=0&model=1938&modelmenu=1
I heard this is a good 'bang for buck' GPU.
RAM – OCZ PC2-8500 Reaper HPC 4Gb

Hard Drive – Seagate ST3320620A 320Gb

Optical Drive – Pioneer DVR-212BK

Thanks for looking!
