Not build a PC in 7-8 years when I was last at college and then the tutor brought everything, so I need some help.

Picked out my case, but struggling with what PSU I need...any advice? Looked through the new build guide but just need PSU advice

Also, looking at MoBos, what is the best type:

AM2+
AM3
Atom
Skt 1155
Skt 1156
Skt 1366
Skt 775
Skt A

I need the PC to be FAST :)
I will be using it to design graphics so graphics card needs to be good
I will also be using it for a bit of FPS gaming
Will also need some storeage space.
I also want a good looking case, dont want a boring looking thing sat there :-)

Budget £400 - £600

Is that budget just for the base unit or do you need monitor, mouse, keyboard, operating system and speakers?

I have a new Keyboard, new mouse, OS is being purchased and I have speakers and 2 spare TFTs, so obviously I need the PC to have dual graphics :-)
