I'm new to the computer building side of things but have decided to have a go at the following. Problem is, everything looks okay with the specs but am i likely to encounter problems with any of the parts i want to fit into the case? I know that i will need to buy longer power cables for my PSU but otherwise, i think everything should be okay.

Here's the Case;

Thanks! :D

I will eventually be planning to put in another hard drive for extra storage, another SATA and maybe bigger than 160GB. Will it be able to slot in okay and work with the motherboard? I understand it's a huge case but i would like to know incase i have to increase the size of my current one.

yes it will work all P35 boards usually have more than one sata port :)
my p35 has 5 :)

it will be a great build and we would like to know more when you have got it sorted

you could have two harddrive's in the bottom front fans in the middle so it dont block all the airflow mate
