Spec thread - ordering this week

Hey I'm gonna order something like this -

What do you think? Is that PSU loud? And is that motherboard future proof of say 3 years?

Just so you know, ill be upgrading to penryn around may and most possibly a GFX card aswell.

Right this is the new one-

Doubt that 520W will be enough for when I get a Penryn, but it's better than paying more and be disappointed that it won't be enough. So what you think now?

What do you mean by an 'aftermarket heatsink'? If it will make my life of overclocking any easier then it's added. Would this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-024-CM be any good ?

Plugging it in to a cheap one until i get Dell 2405fwp at Xmas

Right was going to order this -

Tonight but I've decided to wait till i see the weekend's offers then I'm done thinking. What do you think's the best game in terms on graphics and speed I could play on high setting? When overclocking to ~3.1Ghz

Buying the Ram and Case tonight as their on offer, and waiting till Wednesday to get the other parts just incase something goes on offer + wanting to see the price of the 8800GT

Don't be cheap get the 520W version. Otherwise looks good.

Does that mean it won't be powerful enough? I'm on a low budget so you know...

Well I bought it from somewhere else (Shhh). But I am thinking now of changing to a VX 550W. So this should be enough, and whats the difference between a VX550W and the HX520W?
