Hi guys, i have picked this setup for a new machine, its for games, movies and storage, im planning to raid 0 the two 500gb drives and make an image of the install once complete.

What i really want to know is the psu powerful enough? will the G card fit in the case? any suggestions to improve slightly altho budget is maxed. (i want to stick with amd)

Thanks

Have you considered pre-ordering windows 7 64bit @ ~£60 instead of Vista - if you had an OS to use in the interimit would make sense?

I would pass on the vista and pre-order 64bit windows 7 as Plec said
