My new setup ~ improvements? [+REP!]

Alright, thanks Matt!

Also (again...), are the two fans that come with the 300 blue LED ones?

Normally the case just comes with:

1x 120x25mm rear fan (comes with a 3-speed switch control)
1x 140x25mm top fan (comes with a 3-speed switch control)

I'm guessing you mean the Blue LED ones that some Antec 300 cases have at the front? Sadly they are optional.

Ah, damn, you see, the Casecom has them included.

URGENT GUYS - NEED HELP!

Okay, i've updated my system again, and it's now (going to) reach £600.



A few questions, i'll +rep and be forever in your debt...

• Can you find ANYWHERE to cut costs?!
• Are all these parts good, quiet and value for money?
• Do I actually need DDR3 memory?
• Can I stick with X2 or should I upgrade to quad core (X4)?
• Is that motherboard any good, and can you find a cheaper/better one?
• What other fans will I need (and which ones should I get)?

I'd really appreciate it if you could answer all those questions (or attempt to), it would really help me out, and i'm short on cash!

1. You don't need the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro unless you're going to overclock, the CPU already comes with a heatsink and fan that'll do the job
2. Yes, but I still don't like the case you picked
3. Get DDR3, it's the cheapest option now anyway because hardly anyone is making DDR2 or DDR memory nowadays, and it's extremely likely you'll have to find another motherboard that supports both DDR2 RAM and your CPU if you choose otherwise
4. Dual core will be fine
5. ASUS make good motherboards, you should Google around for reviews of it by major tech sites
6. You won't need other fans.
