Hi, Just wondering if this lot was OK and compatible?

  • AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (AM2) (£78)
  • MSI K9N Neo-F nForce 550 (AM2) (£58)
  • Corsair 1GB DDR2 667 (2x 512MB) (£55)
  • 128MB Gigabyte GeForce 7300GS (GV NX73G128D) (£47)
  • 250GB Samsung SP2504C SATA-II HDD (£51)
  • Plextor 755A 16x DVD-RW (£45)
  • Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme (£56)
  • Seasonic S12 430W PSU (£46)
  • Fusion HDTV DVB-T Dual Freeview Digital PCI TV Tuner (£114)
  • Silverstone LC17 Case (£71)
  • Linksys WMP54G 54Mb Wireless PCI Network Card (£15)
  • Microsoft Windows Media Centre Remote Control (£21)

Comes to about £660-£675.

I'm assuming the 430W PSU would be fine to power the lot? Also assuming the graphics card would be more than adequate to put up a 1024x768 display on the 43" plasma - the card was chosen as it's both silent and cheap.

Would the stock heatsink for the CPU be quiet enough for HTPC use? I will be using the stock case fans on the Silverstone case.
