Right, my brother wants to order his PC parts today, and I'm a bit stuck on a couple of things.
Motherboard:
First of all, the motherboard,
I've picked out the Asus P5NE32-E board, which is SLI complient, and supports the new 1333mhz chips for a later upgrade.

This seems better than the board I got, as mine doesn't support 2x graphic cards at full speed.
RAM:
Next, is the RAM.
Now, I got 800mhz PC6400 DDR 2 speed RAM, for mine, but would it be best getting some higher spec RAM (higher than 800mhz) for my brothers build?
Just wondering, since, I'm planning on getting a Tuniq Tower for it, so will hopefully be planning on overclocking a bit.
Other Parts:
I've already decided on a Q6600 G0, and a 8800GTX (OEM model, under £300. Should be fine ), and 2x 500gb drives in RAID 1.
Case:
I've decided on getting another Antec 900, but I'm really wondering for around the same price, is there a better case for cooling, etc.
All in all, this is going to be a better build than mine... tut tut
