You misread, the PSU is 700W.

OK, I will get XP home, downgrade the CPU cooler and also change from SLi to 1X EVGA GeForce 7950 GX2 1024MB GDDR3 HDTV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (E592-AX) (GX-009-EA)
£370.11 inc VAT

Maybe now even the 700W tagan is too much? I'm not likely to upgrade this rig at all, more like run it into the ground then buy another mid-range/high-end machine in about 2 years.
