That looks like a great case, I would go and put some more fans in it now, easier to do at the start than later. Fans are so cheap, (skip the lights) and really make a difference on keeping things cool. If you get the heat out of the case it makes up for other heat sinks and such. A fan on the top really helps, and most cases that have a bottom mount ps have a space for one, (like yours).
I just finished putting my new system together, still moving/setting up the software, (takes forever).
Good luck on the new system...
You might want to watch, Staples, OfficeMax, and OfficeDepot for a display. They have clearences and good deals sometimes. I just got an Acer 23" DVI/VGA 1980x1020 for $149.

Right I'll consider that but I'm not sure if I'll really need it, the power supply seems to handle everything fine judging from reviews. An extra fan shouldn't cost too much.

Right so I went looking for prices and I ended at about € 705 (no display and keyboard), assuming UK->Belgium shipping costs are about € 40 (buying from Overclockers).
However, I came across this:

This with the Radeon HD 5770, I'm guessing it's about € 10 cheaper than what I ended up with now (not that € 10 matters), but it's very similar in performance and it's pre-built so I won't run into any troubles with actually assembling it.
What do you think?
