Looks good, although if you have some cash spare I would change the Western Digital to one of the newer Seagate 7200.10's as they seem to be very quick and possibly a bit quieter. Nice choice of card too, been loving BF2 etc at full settings

Yer I searched around and that card seemed pretty good for the price. Another thing. will the 400W Antec Smartpower PSU be enough?

 

[celliott]

It should be pretty good and have decent rails but you'd be best to check with some others aswell, don't take my word for it . If it was me building a new system I wouldnt go lower than 450W as it also leaves room for future upgrades.

Here are the specs for the PSU

+3.3V@22A, +5V@21A, +12V1@10A, +12V2@15A, [email protected], +5VSB@2A

Will that be enough do you think?
