After reading what people wrote and asking for advice ive decided im going to buy the components for my new PC this weekend, I have already bought an E6300 Core2Duo and a new DVD-RW, im going to get the following over the weekend.

The only thing im still not sure on is the power supply, i have seen this one
600W CoolerMaster iGreen Power SLi

Has this supply got everything needed to run the above components and will this setup run ok ? Also is it worth getting Vista for this computer? If anyone can think of anything that they think i should change, please tell me.

Many Thanks

John

The other parts look good to me. You'll need an atx case. Mid tower would be best. There are black & silver versions of this aluminum case for a good price:

Well, I used to be against Vista. I'm for Vista. If you buy it with the system as OEM, you save money. If you buy it retail, it'll be expensive. You don't have to install it right way. Try it on for a day. Install XP. Wait for SP1 or stable Vista drivers.
