Hey Guys,
Looking at getting the following system:

Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.60GHz (Socket AM2):
Motherboard - Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard:
RAM - GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX21GB6400UDC)
Hard Drive - Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10 NCQ 200GB 6V200E0 SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM:
Case - Akasa AK-ZEN-01-WH Zen White Case - No PSU:
BFG GeForce 7900 GS OC 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Optical Drive - Pioneer DVR-111D 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter - (Beige) OEM

Can you check it over and also can you recommend me a power supply to go with it, preferably one that will handle another graphics card some time in the future.

Thanks
Luke
 
How much do you have to spend?
How about a Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK) for £61.99 (£72.84)


EDIT: Also, expect flak for not spec'ing a C2D rig. ;)
 
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz
Akasa AK-ZEN-01-WH Zen White Case
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Gainward BLISS GeForce 7900 GS "Golden Sample" SILENT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Pioneer DVR-111D 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter

Total - £682.51

I would change nearly everything there, sorry :p

This is a much better system IMO, very overclockable, twice as much ram, cpu is marginally slower but incredibly overclockable (mine is doing 2.8ghz, easy), quieter HD with more storage.

Bit cheaper than your system would be too with the same PSU.
