Decent build. Should run fairly well. Interested to see what the rigidity of that case would be (whether the metal flexes/bends easily) but overall it's pretty good for the price.

Very interested , i would like to see the finshed project , when you get there

You could go cheaper on the processor and not notice much of a difference. I bought a new Phenom II (x2 560) and it works great. Just something to consider if you want to save some monies and don't mind going to dual core. Windows experience index gives it a 6.6.

I think if you plan to add RAM later on, you should try and find a motherboard with more RAM slots. It'll be kinda pricey getting RAM sticks that are 3 or 4 gigs each.

Graphics card is awesome, wish I'd seen that when I was building my computer.

Think that's about it. Major props to finding inexpensive parts. Good build for about 700 dollars!

I would buy new computer parts, but they are very very expensive in finland... EU fucks up the price of everything... I just looked up, if I want same computer, same parts, it would cost almost 700 euros, which is about 1000$... :/

Im looking at this now, http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.569871 theres no graphics card in the kit, so that would come later. This comes to roughly $730 with taxes and shipping..

The motherboard and case in this kit look to be better than what you initially posted. RAM looks to be pretty decent as well. Add a graphics card into this kit and you'll have a very decent system.

That case is literally the exact one I just used to build my computer at the beginning of January. It has 3 color LED fans in it and a fourth fan on the back. 

It's seriously beautiful. It has a control for fan speed on the outside of the case, and the fans switch between Blue, Green, Red, and two different patterns where it flashes between multiple colors.

As for staying cool, I put a $20 dollar heatsink with the case and it keeps the processor at or below room temperature consistently. I haven't gotten it above80^0F. 

Highly recommend that case for anyone who wants something that looks pretty and keeps your system really cool! The only downside is theextremely poor documentation, but it's not too hard to figure out when you're putting it all together.
