The fans ok, and for your needs most of it is fine. However I'd just get a hard drive from Western Digital or Seagate, and get a better PSU fom Antec, Thermaltake or other high quality brands. Doesn't need to be bigger than 350W as long as its got good amps.
Can i use SATA II? Is it compatible with my mobo? I've found a Hitachi one thats ok. :http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/hitachi_sata.html Top one.
Yes. SATA II and SATA are compatible. While SATA II allows for 3GB/s, that's a burst rate, not sustained, so with the connectors the same, that additional headroom should be a moot point. If you're not overclocking, you might consider dropping the extra heatsink. The retail version of all CPU's come with a heatsink and cooling fan combo. While, yes, you can buy better cooling, if you're not building a silent rig or a screaming overclocker, you really ought to consider dropping the extra heatsink from your list. Do you have a link for that Asus case? I can't seem to find their TA-210. I can find TA-230's and TM-230's, but no 210's. I want to check and make sure that case is compatible with your motherboard (ATX standard)
