Now I have most the parts picked out i just need a CPU cooler and GPU card, but space will be limited. For the Cooler the max height is 75mm and it must fit a LGA 775 socket, and am looking for a GPU that will run cool. I am going with a single card, and it does not need to be that graphic intensive. I play WOW, CSS, AOEII, but i want to be able to play other games at good framrates but it doesn't have to be a high settings etc. and I love to watch movies, when i get the money I plan to put a blu-ray player in this comp.

So summize

NEED

GPU & CPU FAN/Heatsink

EDIT: I also found this on the web for the GPU

SG01-F is capable of fitting 12 long graphics cards

Graphic card length reference:

Leadtek Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB GDDR3 - 12
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra/GTX - 10.5
ATI Radeon HD 3870X2 - 10.5
ATI Radeon HD 2900XT - 9.5
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GS/GT/GTS - 9
ATI Radeon HD 3870/3850 - 9

If an expansion card is longer than 9.6" and it needs to be installed in the first slot, please refer to the manual for installation instructions.

is it for gaming? if so a quad really isn't needed and a 45nm dual will produce much less heat and have really small heatsinks. the e7200 is a great cheap cpu and the e8200/e8400 are also great (note the e8400 beats the q6600 in basicly any current game and the e8200 is about the same as the q6600 sometimes beats it sometimes the q6600 wins)

does the gpu have to be single slot? the 9600gt is probaly the beat gpu for you if it can be dual slot I'd recomend the pailt 9600gt since it has a vent on the bottom slot that will let the heat out much more easily than with a single slot.

9600gt

8800GTs are cheap and single slot, BTW I don't like thermaltake :P That PSU is more than enough.
