right before you post i have a few things to say first.

1. i would like a definitave yes or no answer, no maybe.
2. i already have a minitor/mouse/keyboard.
3. is it worth the extra £17 to get win 7 untimate instead of just home premium?
4. do you have any tips or guidance when building the system?

thanks in advance,
knight djw
 
It isn't much better to get the Ultimate than Home Premium, so I wouldn't spend the extra, but I take you aren't wanting to game on this system, so it will be fine for your needs, and should be quick too :)

Also, you could consider the Antec 300 for a few pound more?
 
main use will be for college work, borwsing the internet and light gaming (will be getting a dedicated graphics card later this year (when i have the funds :))
 
What sort of video card will you be looking to purchase?

Might be an idea to get a slightly higher powered psu now, rather than find out when you get your new video card the Corsair isn't up to scratch.

What is your monitors native resolution?
