Approximate Purchase Date: 1st September
Budget Range: Up to £800 which is roughly $1300 (Before Rebates) - this excludes VAT (UK sales tax, 20%) as do the prices given below
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Blizzard games (WoW, SC2, Diablo 3 eventually), web development, other games, office stuff, surfing
Parts Not Required: Keyboard (Razer Anansi), Mouse (Razer Naga)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Novatech
Country of Origin: UK
Parts Preferences: I'm pretty sold on AMD and ATI but not sticking religiously to that or anything.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: I need one, 1920+ res
Additional Comments: I've been a Mac user for the last 5 years, but I'm tired of not being able to upgrade much (and getting 11 FPS on WoW) so I'm coming back to PCs. I'd like my PC to be reasonably quiet, and I'd like a sleek looking case that's easy to fit.
Here's what I've got picked out so far:
AMD Quad Core Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz Socket AM3 - Retail (£73.32)
MSI ATI Radeon 6870 Twin Frozr II 1024MB GDDR5 PCIe (£120.82)
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive - Retail (£141.66) - I currently only use about 80GB so this should be fine
Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3L AMD 870 (Socket AM3+) Motherboard (£54.99)
G.Skill Ripjaw 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Single Memory Module x2 (£39.98)
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Modular Power Supply (£53.32)
Samsung S222AB 22x DVD+/-RW SATA Black - OEM (£13.32)
BenQ G2420HD 61 cm (24") LCD Monitor (£120.86) - I know nothing about monitors, I picked this because it's full HD and 2/5ms
I still need a case and appropriate cooling for it.
Please can you offer any advice on my spec and any suggestions on a nice case for it all?

Looks like Aria does too though so they would be OK.
