Good/bad/indifferent?

Is that 650W Antec PSU enough?
 
One thing I would say is: don't go for the WD green as your system drive. Two of these in RAID 0 will be significantly faster, cheaper and have more storage.

I was going to RAID0 those two WDs, although I had wondered if I'd ever need 2TB in a single contiguous space...the alternative was a pair of something like these (slightly less £/GB than yours), and maybe a 1TB drive for backup.

Also, this RAM is cheaper and overclocks well.

This graphics card may be worth a look too.

Changed to those, thanks.


At £57 for the noctua cooler- you would be better getting a TRUE and adding a Noctua NF-P12 fan (better cooling performance)

I'd thought about that (reviews generally put the TRUE in front of the Noctua for cooling from what I've seen), but seen some people complaining about the TRUE (non-flat surface etc.) and thought the Noctua seemed more reliable. If I thought it wouldn't get stupidly hot, I'd probably settle for the retail box cooler :p
