Looks ok? Dya think i might have problems?

The PSU is a 350W, and comes with the case so thats alright really which is ideal.

I just prefer AMD

Also, my main issue is the mobo, I just seem to have doubts about it. :confused:

Steve,

Just found a EYE-T Black Warrior with a 450W PSU for a few pounds more.

Would the mATX mobo suffer if i used that gfx card? I wont be doing any overclocking... That will be my next build

Ive been umming and arring over the Intel's. Ive not heard/read much about this conroe stuff?

Im wanting to build something decent that is upgradeable in the future. Being an AMD fan i wanted to stick with them but i do have an Intel Centrino laptop and thats alright i guess, no real complaints.
