Hi Overclockers,
Ive been asked to build a PC for a friend of mine. He will be doing no gaming but will watch HD movies eventually and surf the net as well as using office applications. He also insists on a Quad. He also will be hooking the DVI to a 19" monitor and the HDMI to the 42 inch plasma to clone screens at the same time.
So Ive looked around at reviews, made it as cheap as possible, could you all give some feedback please on what you would change. This is my 3rd build ever
Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H GeForce 7100 Socket 775 onboard VGA 8 channel audio mATX Motherboard

Compucase 6T10 Piano Black MATX E-SATA Case With Arctic Power 400W PSU 20+4pin 1x SATA
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144483
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Retail
Corsair 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2
500GB Hard Drive Sata
Samsung DVD/RW Sata
Vista OEM 32 bit
80mm case fan
Molex to Sata converter - For the Optical drive
Also, this board supports the Q6600 on the Gigabyte website but only has the 4 pin atx CPU connector. He won't be overclocking so will this power it ok?
Thanks
Daniel
