potential spec

[xrich_]

Hi

I have put this spec together for £550 (will come already built) - basically i just want a pc to last me a few years and with a budget of £550 MAX. Im not fussed about mental gfx, i would prefer a quiet, very quick pc.

Computer Case - Cooler Master Elite 330
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (2 x 3.0 GHZ) 1333FSB - 6 MB
Motherboard - ASUS P5KPL/1600 1333FSB (Intel G31)
Memory - 4GB PC-6400 800 MHZ (2 x 2 GB) (DDR2)
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT - 1 GB - VGA/DVI/HDMI (Palit) - OverClocked
Power Supply - OCZ 500W Stealth XStream - Low Noise
Hard Drive 1 - 320 GB SATA-II HDD UDMA 300 7200 8MB
Optical Drive 1 - Samsung (S222A) DVD PLUS/-RW 22x Dual Layer - Black (IDE)
Sound Card - Motherboard Integrated 5.1 Sound
Networking - Motherboard Integrated Ethernet Lan (Broadband Ready)
USB Ports - 4 X USB 2.0 Ports
CPU Heatsink - Speeze QuadroFlow VIII - Low Noise
Operating System - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-BIT (Genuine DVD & COA Included)

Is this good?

Or do you think i should just buy the parts an build myself?

hmmm, could you suggest a build (that i can build myself, as clearly that first build was rubbish) that will still be a good pc in 4-5 years (not too fussed about gfx, im more concerned about performance)... but ofc i will need a pretty good gfx card. Do i need to think about the OS i use aswell? will say a 32bit XP OS limit my CPU power?
