How does it all look? I haven't built a comp for a few years

I assume all SATA 2 cables are compatible with SATA1 drives etc?

Without knowing what you are going to be using the Computer for it is hard to comment. You've only got on-board graphics which will suck big time for gaming (even minesweeper

), but oodles of processing power with four cores...

Graphics are not an issue! Just the other stuff needs to be good

Sorry I was asking whether all the stuff is compatible or not, I take it, it is

Cheers

well even if your just using your PC for desktop work its a really good idea to get a graphics card even if its cheap anything is better than on board graphics, 9400Gt something like that £30-£40

but yeah everything else is all good

for desktop work you could save some money with a dual core instead of a quad. And if it will be used for gaming def get a graphics card as onboard is just poor compared to even a cheap card. Also for PSU a modular is def the way to go as it helps clean up cables in your case giving better air flow and therefore temps
