Hey everyone, I have decided to build my first PC due to the software I am using needing a specific Nvidia Quadro graphics card which isn't usually specced on gaming or everyday PCs.

I have had a look around and for my budget (£500-£550ish)I have found this:

PC Spec:
Processor: Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
Mobo: Asus P8H61 PLUS Intel H61 Chipset (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard **B3 REVISION**
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1333C9D3B1K2/8G)
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (0F10383)
PSU: OcUK Swift 550W Silent Power Supply
DVD Drive: Samsung SH-S222AB/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Case: BitFenix Merc Alpha Gaming Case - Black
Graphics Card: Nvidia Quadro 600

Will this all work? Can anyone suggest anything that will make this faster/better without increasing the price too much? Also I haven't put any fans on the list, will I need more than the one that comes in the case and the CPU/Graphics card fans?

Cheers in advance!

Oh and just incase it is of interest I will be using Avid Media Composer, the minimum requirements are:

OS: Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit), Windows Vista Business SP2 (64-bit), Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 (64-bit)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz processor or faster
Memory: 4 GB of RAM (6 GB of RAM recommended for Windows 7 and Windows Vista)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Quadro FX family3 (FX 560 or higher)
Internal Hard Drive: Minimum 80 GB 7200 rpm hard disk
 
Wow, thanks for the fast replies.

I will definitely change the PSU for something more reliable and thanks for the heads up about the daily deals and Motherboard.

I'm not in a huge hurry to get it built so It may be worth looking for some deals to try to save some money/get better stuff for the same money.

Cheers for the advice,

I'll let you know how it goes and what I end up with!
