I can't really go for any more RAM at the moment but will add in future when the coin allows.
I'll be putting 32bit Win XP on it as I have an original disc that I've bought for the pc that died, so wouldn't get the most out of it if I bought more RAM now.
That is not a bad build. My only question is what manufactures power supply are you going with?
The best advice I can give is do not skimp on the power supply. A good 400w PS will do. But a cheep one will be you worst enemy. As Mellon Head as said 500 or 550 would be better.
Hope this helps.
I have a choice of upgrading the power supply to either '450w Powercool 80 + Dual Rail' or a '550w Thermaltake' at a small extra cost.
Of the two, Thermaltake all the way. Those Powercool PSU's are nothing more than some POS no-name things that get passed off as the house brand by most of the UK retailers, with the only reviews on any of them on said retailers websites.
