    Ram is dirt cheap, add another 2Gb and its perfect :D

    Though 2g would be enough
    But you reckon the rest is ok?

    Have the same motherboard and ram and can't fault it, but I'd definitely be wary of the B-grade mobo... (I presume you're ordering from Komplett?)

    Perhaps stick a Samsung Spinpoint F1 hard drive in there instead of the WD Caviar? (both great drives though, so it's up to you really)

    Looks fine to me. Just make sure you get a case with good airflow like the antec 1200 and a decent cpu hfh like the tuniq tower of TR ulrta 120 extreme and you will be sound.

    Also ill echo the advice above, be wary of the mobo, try find out more info about it, and get another 2gb

    Ye i'm buying from komplett and was just reading about that mobo and decided not to go with it. Found this one instead

    Asus P5K/EPU, P35, Socket-775, DDR2, ATX, GbLAN, SATAII, 2xPCI-Ex16

    Samsung Spinpoint F1 1Tb for 115 euro sounds good

    Cheers
