pukka mate...

although you may wanna get the 6400 RAM instead of the 5300.....As it performs better, so I think????

presumably ** going to be overclocking that baby? if yes, you may have troubles with the psu thats fairly low.....you may want to think about adding a psu to that as I can foresee power problems..

over clocking yes...but not right away. To begin with I just want to start up the rig, then add in parts as I can afford them.

is it a good base tho? would it be worth (for gaming and graphics) upping the card to an 1800XT as well as changin the memory?

~edit: is it also maybe a good idea to buy cheaper DDR2 RAM just now, and then buy 2 x 1Gig DDR2 good ram when I can afford it, as opposed to buying the good stuff now (2x512) and then buying another (2x512) later? As I think i read that 2x1gig is better than 4x512...
