    Building new PC for the first time

    So, Im gonna built a new PC for the first time together with a friend who is a bit more knowledged in that matter than I am.
    Anyway, Im gonna re-use my old dvd-drive and my old GFX which is an Asus EN9500GT 1GB.
    I've taken the suggestions from the frontpage news a month ago or so, looking at the Narwhal setup.
    This is what I had in mind:
    Case: Cooler MAster Centurion 5 II
    PSU: Corsair TX650W
    CPU: Intel i5 2500k
    MB: Asus P8P67 Pro
    RAM: 4GB G.Skill Ripjaws F3 12800 DDR3
    HD: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black

    I would also need a heatsink. Im living in Denmark, and having a bit of hardtime finding a retailer who sells Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme as is the described heatsink in the Narwhal Setup.

    All I wanted to know, is if anyone know a retailer in Denmark who sells that Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme and if the setup is reasonable for playing WoW from, and eventually be able to upgrade/buy new GFX, Bluray and/or SSD for it, without having to get a new MB or CPU.

    good build, but you cant currently buy it due to intel issuing a recall for motherboards to fix problems on them

    cooler master 212 is a solid heat sink

    Wouldn't touch any of Intel's new stuff until they sort the issues out.

    Yea you wont be able to buy the Intel Sandy Bridge atm. Intel found a design flaw in a chipset on the mobo's. New mobo's will be hitting in late Feb to April.
