Thanks


Ps please suggest improvements you think it may need..Obviously a graphics card.


Computer will be used for Business admin work...Gaming....IE SC2 Civilisation etc

Wow. It's good that you posted so much information, but PLEASE press the enter key more often next time!!

For graphics, it looks like you aren't doing an excessive amount of gaming, so you may check out the new GTX560.

I would look into a solid state drive for your OS and most used programs. This would be a significant boost to the performance and speed of your boots, loading times etc. Just don't buy OCZ Vertex 2 (at least, I won't, very bad experience with them). The Corsair SSDs seem good.

I gave up trying to read that after the first line.
Put a layout like this
Case: cooler master whatnot
mobo: asus whatnot
etc

its spaced out now.

If you want to play starcraft 2 you will need a video card but that is a crossfire board along with the hybrid technology which isn't entirely stable all by itself. I wouldn't trust that psu along with that it doesn't allow for upgrading. Consider building it yourself so you can troubleshoot it and its just good information to have.

You're not playing Starcraft at any satisfactory settings on a propus core cpu. The power supply terrifies me. The price on several components is too high. Not insanely, but it's high. I don't like the seagate hard drive.

Why not just order parts and make a better one?

Those prices... Wow. I'm glad I'm not in Australia. $130 for the bottom end 4 core. You should be getting the 955BE which is twice as good for that money.

Is that Processor compatible with the motherboard? and what size PSU should we get?

Not trying to be rude but Read through the last 10 pages. There are a lot of threads with people asking do i need this etc. People won't like to just spoon feed you and I sure as heck don't want to waste my time when there are tons of articles depicting and telling you how to build a comp etc.
