Just putting together a little gaming rig (trying to keep costs down I'm afraid).
Had the i5 and Msi P55 but took it off due to quite a saving.
Will be running XP and mainly used for gaming :)

ASUS M4A78 Plus AM3
WD Caviar Black 500GB
MSI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Rosewill RP600V2 600W
G,Skill Ripjaws series 4GB (2 x 2GB)
AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8ghz
Sony DVD Drive
CoolerMaster Centurion 5 CAC TO5 case.


Anything spring to mind that is a no no or could be improved without spending too much wedge?
Not expecting amazing results - just want something to play latest games without huge $$$ sacrifices.

Thanks for the help.
 
I would probably get a decent PSU, check this thread out:

Just make sure you have enough power to run your components. I mean, I'd rather spend a few pounds more on something stable which is energy efficient and won't need replacing after a while.

Antec 300 cheaper case? Offset money for new PSU?

What type of PSU would be recommended for that type of setup then? I figured 600w should be enough?

Thanks
 
Rosewill is a big make in the States - the one I selected had 5 star rating so figured it would be cool.
So no other mods to amend then?
