Can anyone comment on this spec please, not for gaming really or overclocking, possibly use for some video editing in the future and if so will get another hard drive. Do I need a soundcard or will the onboard suffice in your opinions. Any comments appreciated and also looking for a cheap no nonsense case recomendations anyone?

You could drop the PSU and maybe take a look at this this case, comes with an integrated PSU which should suffice for that system. You could probably get a Core2 Duo setup if you were interested, although not sure what you're budget is so cannot comment there. The current spec looks good though.

CHEERS for that , but I should have said I have already purchased the above components, maybe should have done more research :-)

Ah, doh

You may wish to check out the Akasa ZEN cases. They are really good looking and I've seen some positive comments on this case on the forums, giving the price they are quite a steal (personally I love the white one). You can view them here.

Look just the job mate, the white one is cool but would need to find matching keyboard/mouse
