    Answers:

    Yes
    Yes (might as well if you haven't got an alternate OS lined up yet)
    Yes

    Alternate build - €475 shipped from HWVS:

    Better mobo (and thus better sound and graphics), better HDD, better case.

    Thanks solitaire.

    I mite go for that build you reccomended. Much cheaper with shipping.

    One question, will that 300w psu need to be upgraded, say if i added a graphics card in the next few months?

    Not sure really. Nothing too powerful. Im not a big pc gamer. Only on the xbox. I just want to have the option.

    Or would i even need to install a graphics card if not playing games?

    If you don't want to play games other than the ones on your web browser then you can easily get by on integrated graphics :)

    Perfect thanks.

    Looking forward to getting this system built. In bad need of a new machine. My current dell is 6 years old and I need something new and fresh.
