Got a £900 budget, just wondering if my case/psu solution is enough to power my rig. I also have an audigy2 and a dvd drive that need powered so I'm quite unsure if 450w is enough?

Also, looking at what I am getting is there anything else to improve on? I could probably stretch to £930 if it was really worth it! Help appreciated I cant wait to get this ordered :D

Well that RAM won't work first of all :p

Also the PSU might be ok, but you ae pushing it a bit.

This is £30 more but you get a very nice Lian Li case, 580w PSU (hiper are generally ok but some people have probs with them) and RAM that will actually work.
