PC will be used for games on the odd occasion... CSS, etc etc but mostly internet surfing, multi tasking applications, music/dvd's etc

Obviously the cheaper the better but on the other hand i do want it last the next few years!

I would overclock the system as long as its stable etc (i have no experience with overclocking)

I built a system for my mate a few weeks ago and its making me wanting to build mine and get rid of my rubbish 2400mhz celeron lol

Cheers guys

It all looks pretty good, the motherboard might not be all that overclockable but other than that it ought to be a good system.

is that psu powerfull enough to run the x1800? i'd check that if i were u

It should be OK seeing as the system won't be overclocked much.

please guys i need some clarification if the PSU is good enough for my spec above?

also is the mboard any good?

If not what case/psu and mboard do you recommend?

Thanks guys!!

The PSU would probably be fine but depending on how far you want to overclock it might be a limiting factor. This is a better motherboard in overclocking terms and it is a good case and PSU.
