Will this all go together ok?

[fishiee]

Hi,

Just a quick ask to check this over and see if it will run together ok or if I've overlooked any glaring incompatibilities... or if some alternative components would be more suitable.

Just a basic machine for my parents but to be reasonably future proof. For running winXP.

Thanks in advance.

Save yourself £21 and get rid of Norton. There are free alternatives that will do a better job (see threads in the 'Windows' section for details).
