    How about getting the P5K-E Wifi instead of the deluxe?

    This table lists the differences between them, and there doesn't seem to be much. Don't know if the bios options differ though.

    And ditch the 32 bit vista, especially if you still have XP.

    Ditch the Corsair RAM cooler and use an 80mm fan.

    Ditch the IOSS thing - pointless.

    Re: Asus p5k deluxe/wifi cost issues

    Your sepc is slightly confusing, for a 1.8GHZ processor dual core you wont need a tuniq tower unless you looking at crazy overclocking.

    Bios options are almost the same if not exactly the same. The P5K-E costs 30 quid less?! Very good for overclocking aswell!!

    PSU you need to get at least a 500W, Corsair HX520W would do. It will cost 8-9£ more though.

    Not sure that you need components such as Ioss RD7 System aftercooler (allows system cooling after shutdown) + WOL Cable and Corsair RAM cooler (crazy 8) and Akasa Cable management Kit, Spiral Wrap, Cable Ties, Cable Clamp. Dont know how much each costs but these could be given a miss to save some more money.

    Look at my SPEC it cost me £789 inc VAT & DEL.

    Re: Asus p5k deluxe/wifi cost issues

    You could get a different case and save money - zen akasa £28 comes to mind, you don't need a Tuniq Tower, you could use an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro £15 and you could can upgrade the E4300 to E4400. That's a start.
