love the case.
power supply should be good, depends what your putting in the rig.
HDD's are ok...
youd probbly be better shopping off newegg or tigerdirect though

im in the uk so i cant use new egg, got any recomendations on a motherboard and will this processor be able to handle cod waw http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-E5200-Pentium-Dual-Core-Processor/dp/B001ENB1FA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1233522353&sr=1-4 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-E5200-Pentium-Dual-Core-Processor/dp/B001ENB1FA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1233522353&sr=1-4)as i have seen alot of motherboards which have that socket.

do you have any money limits?
it would help me to know before i look

Is this a good mobo + processer combo http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=224598 (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=224598).
My limit for the motherboard and processor is around £250 ($361.95 according to xe.com).Total is about £400 and i am knicking a disc drive out of my old pc and the hard drive which has windows on it.

Don't get a pentium, it won't be good enough.
The harddrives suck, too.
Buy from tigerdirect or newegg, they are the best. I'm sure they ship out of the country.

Never get computer parts from maplins, worst computer deals around
-
y not maplins? where should i go. I checked newegg out they dont do shipping internationaly it has a notice, now ive seen some real good stuff on there which is cheap im real :censored: off!

I suggest you go with ATi over nVidia this round. They are much cheaper for the same power. Also, Intel Core 2 Q6600 is a good starting processor, much higher end then AMD at the moment. That MB you chose only goes up to 4GB DDR2. If you plan on using a 64-Bit OS, I'd go with one that can handle 8GB or more.
