Everything goes with everything... but should it?
Cooler - Decent, but not really that good for OCing quads. If you want to OC then get a Hyper 212 Plus, minimum.
RAM - Why 8GB?!?
Case - A bit too cheap, minimum spec for quads should be Thermaltake V3/NZXT Gamma/Antec 200. And grab a couple of cheap 120mm fans to go with the first two!
GPU - The Club3D is cheaper and closer to coming back in stock. If you want to play Russian Roulette with out-of-stock GTX460 1GBs do it with the Palit, which is under €200
HDD - Wrong! Get the Samsung F3 1GB, its miles better!
Optical - Why the extra DVD-ROM?
NIC - Why?!?:eek: You do know that all modern mobos have one built-in, don't you?
Monitor - If you can live with just VGA the B2230N is a bargain Otherwise check out the P2250/2270, no HDMI and very slight dip in contrast and backlight brightness in order to get the gamer-friendly 2ms refresh... 0 -

What Solitaire said (again!)
But, imho, I think the case is splendid. Why do you think you shouldn't put a quad in the Asgard? Only problem I can see with it that it won't fit the 160mm cooler giants (the 158mm Mugen II does fit, btw. Almost scratching, but it fits, lol ). 0 -
It looks okay but at the end of the day its an old-ATX layout case with an overventilated side and underventilated top (the former would vibrate like a ***** if you tried to stick a fan there though!
). Until a refresh changes things the cheapest Xiggy case I rate is the Midgard (not least for the triple fan controller! ) which is twice the price of the Asgard, thus my recommendation for the new-ATX layout 200/V3/Gamma. 0 -
