I also would like it to be FutureProof too. :)

    PSU - Super Flower Amazon 550w - 52 Euros

    Looks alright to me. Just one word of advice though. When I playing Battlefield 3 Beta, the process on 64 player maps took over 3GB of memory. I have 8GB so I'm fine but on 4GB RAM you might be tight for space as about 25% of that would be taken up for the OS and some other programs. The result is that the draw distance ends up a tad short than what it should be.

    I personally would have went for at least 6GB RAM as they're currently very cheap to pick up. Other than that its a good build.
