Slightly over budget but it'll do what you need it to. That one you found isn't that good for the money and it's a fiver more than this spec.

I was thinking along the same lines as fenderbass86 so no real point in repeating the specification, I might have chosen a MicroATX nforce4 motherboard to get it a bit cheaper and gone for the 400w Antec so you'd be near enough bang on the budget but a very capable PC particularly when compared to wherever was going to charge you that much for not such a great system and it was AGP as well :eek:

Yeah the 400watt will do fine for that pc and cut the price down.
