Itching to buy

Itching to spend my hard earned cash and come up with (what i think is) a pretty good spec from reading the forums.
I have around the £750 mark, any more and I would have to wait 3 weeks.
I have the HDD, 520watt Tagen PSU, DVD, monitor, kb/mouse etc.

Anything worth swapping/upgrading/downgrading? Bare in mind i have a 19" wide screen (1440*900), i believe that GFX card is overkill for that monitor but I'm going for future proofing.
Also, is 520watt sufficient for an 8800 GTX and quad core, I read that 450 is minimum but just want to be sure.
Thanks in advance

Corsair 520w is plentyfull, but if you are after futureproofing a 620w maybe a wiser purchase depending on your budget.

btw for a case i recommend the Lian Li PC-7

looks good, and the 520w tagan etc should work perfectly

Using an Antec p180 Case at the moment and apparently it does fit, but you cant use the 2 HDD bays directly opposite. Also would be keeping Overclocking to a mimimum*, Bit of a novice :/
