is this any good?

im probably going to wait afew more months before getting a new computer and by then there will probably be better stuff and the stuff here will be cheaper or discontinued, but is this any good for the price? and any good for overclocking/upgradability? would the psu with that case be good enough to power overclocked components?

anyway, the picture of the stuff:

forgot to add floppy drive to that lol.

I would say its good for a budget system, my system runs on a 400w Nexus PSU. My system is in my sig, plus I have an extra 300gb hdd to - dont forget that the Core 2 Duo's use a lot less power than my P4, and mine is overclocked too.

One last thing, depending on what resolution you run games you might want to get the 512mb version of that card - my 7900GS would have been much much better at 1680x1050 with 512mb.

Good, its un-needed and should be dead and buried these days.

Is there any particular reason why you are going for Vista 32bit? I'd have thought you as well to go for the 64bit version, if for no other reason than the ability to have 4gb+ Ram.

If you can afford the extra then I might suggest a Noctua NH-U12F or Tuniq Tower cooler.
