My First Homebuild
Last response: in Systems
I am hoping in the near future to make my first homebuild computer. This computer would be wanted to play new games, as well as be good at multitasking. I would also like the PC to be futureproof for the next about 4/5 years (as i am about to do my A-levels and then Uni, and do not want to have to pay out for another computer during that time). The components are as so (and are all from www.overclockers.co.uk):
[*:46373000ef]Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £164.44
[*:46373000ef]X-Blade Gaming Midi Tower Case - Black (No PSU) £28.95
[*:46373000ef]Intel Pentium 4 950 Dual Core "LGA775 Presler" 3.4GHz (800FSB) £164.44
[*:46373000ef]Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) £170.32
[*:46373000ef]PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 GTO 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) £137.42
[*:46373000ef]Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache £49.94
[*:46373000ef]NEC ND4571 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer LabelFlash ReWriter (Black) £25.26
[*:46373000ef]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music £56.99
[*:46373000ef]Soundgraph iMON VFD - Silver £69.27
[*:46373000ef]Enermax Liberty 620W ELT620AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU £99.82
[*:46373000ef]OcUK Value Hanns-G HC194D 19" LCD Monitor - Silver/Black £129.19
I am still undecided on what OS to use, as i can't decide between Windows XP Home or MEdia Centre Edition (i do use my PC a lot for Music), so this is not included in the list, until i decide.
This configuration in total comes to £1,101.09 inc VAT.
When looking at this list, can anyone tell me of any compatability problems. another question is: Is the PSU good enough to run all the components i have? or do i need a bigger one?
Also do i need to buy any fans or coolers to keep this system at a good temperature?

Looks good to me.
Dont have experience with enermax PSU, but many people here seem to like those PSU's, so I guess it is a strong PSU with Genuine power rating, if so....you got a whooooleeee lotta juice there....you wont run out.
If you are not overclocking stock cooling will certainly suffice.
It will even suffice for a moderate overclock if you do wish to do so.

What OS would you recommend?
Also on top of this i would be buying a new keyboard. The spec for this is here: http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/eclipse.htm
the Eclipse II would be nice, but unfortunately has not been released in the UK yet
