Looks good mate, vista 64 bit is good with 4gb ram, so you should be ok. Everything looks compatible.

Yup. For once, not a retarded AMD-CPU-With-Intel-mobo-and-8600GT-rig. This will work nicely.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Why not the club3D one? it is much cheaper and has the same cooling. Link here. Looking at the prices you are buying from azerty.nl?

edit: you forgot the headset/speakers?

looks good. If you have the money, I'd go for an 8800GTS G92 and some faster ram.

yes i'm buying from azerty but i think ill get the e8400 from some other place because its out of stock.
dont need speakers and i already have a headset (its not a good headset but i dont want to spend more money on a better one)
ill think about buying the club3D one but the one i have now is from asus and i dont have any problems with it and i dont really like changes when i found something that works

E8400 is out of stock everywhere. They can still deliver it for you, but it's going to take 3-4 weeks. Anyway, the E8400 on azerty has a good price, it's cheap compared to most other webshops. Biggest price difference I could find was €15, but then you will need to pay €9 shipping costs. So for a total difference of €6, you are better off ordering everything from azerty. I've ordered shitloads of parts from them and I've never had any problems with them so far.

Customer service is great: you can always change your order, sending products back isn't an problem either (had incompatible memory with an motherboard once). Every thing gets packaged the right way and delivering times aren't too long either (except for the E8400 ).

For someone who doesn't know if it is all compatible or not, that's one hell of a selection of chioces! The only thing I'd change would be to make sure that your Optical Drive (CD/DVD) is SATA (not ugly IDE!); however I would recommend a different power supply - perhaps a Thermaltake Toughpower or Corsair HX?

Just be sure to check your motherboard's QVL (qualified vendor's list) to make sure the RAM is compatible
