Well it's new PC time again and I have a couple of grand stashed away in the ol' hardware budget. I've picked out a few parts (I already have an XP Pro license and a mitsumi floppy/card reader for the new PC) and wondered if any of you ninja PC hexperts had any comments or suggestions on the spec. I plan to use everything at stock speeds, repeat - I do not intend to O/C anything, a hard concept for some of you I know 
and it'll be used for both dev work and gaming. What I've picked out so far follows...

£10 Vantec SF12025L Stealth 120mm fan to replace case fan
£77 Antec TruePower 2.0 550W PSU

£459 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core CPU
£23 Zalman CNPS7000B-CU CPU Cooler
