DDR2 ram is going out of fashion. :)
Make sure your case can fit the GTX 260, its 10.5 inches.
The PSU will most probably work with that.

That cooler isn't any better than the ones that come with the processors in my experience.

@DDR2 well, being serious, the differences between the DDR2 and DDR3 are not too big. Plus the DDR3 Rams cost round 20 euros more, each atm. ( well atleast when i compared 'em )

@Quad. Yeah, i am thinking of the quad solution, too. But atm all i want is a PC for a little gaming session in games like CSS, COD and stuff like that. can't i upgrade it, later, too ? ( if i want high graphical resolutions, i can also stick with my ps3 on the 32 inch LCD. )

@260GTX. Starzy. i didnt choose a random mid-tower by closing my eyes and pressing on the screen with my finger.

@Cooler. Ive seen the cooler in action and all i can say is,that it is silenced and does it job. Hmm, if you got any better systems for the same or abit more money, let me now =)

and Para... wash your mouth ;P

And guys, again. I dont want a PC for Crysis being able to run it on maximum settings but playing some nice clan realted games with u. So dont expect me to spend more then 600 euros on it. =S

Well maybe mine was broken, but it was just as loud as the stock one and temps were worse. Now I have a Thermalright HR-01 plus, but that's a bit more expensive. Perhaps try a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283?
