    all looks good to me apart from a few things. Dump that northQ psu, they are diabolical, they are of terrible quality. Go with a 500w corsair psu found at http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=327671 It is very silent and SLI certified. So it has expansion if you plan to upgrade in the future.

    I would also change the hdd for a Samsung spinpoint 500gb. This model is much quieter and faster. http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=327715

    I Dont know if you plan on gaming or not, but if you do that card simply wont do. It will be fine for WoW but not at highest details. For a little bit more money you can get a x1950pro/gt. The pro is the better version of the card, but not by much. And since you dont have a large widescreen monitor i dont think you will see the difference. So go with a x1950gt http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=331534
