Proposed pc spec: any good?

[joskos]

I am looking at building a new pc my first attempt.

i want to use the computer for my educational use, like word typing, creating web pages, storing wedding pictures (really loads of them), want to store them on dvd, i lalso use programming languages like, visual basic, python etc to make programmes.

and after much trawling through the internet I have come up with the following spec:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHz
Gigabyte GA M59SLI-S4 AM2
400 GB SERIAL ATA II HARD DRIVE
2GB RAM (1GBx2)
LiteOn DH-18A1P-18C 18X DVDRW
Microsoft Windows XP

i am not into gaming!

I would apreciate any comments or advice on this spec.

thanks Windog

Do you already have the case, PSU, and video card? You might want to consider a smaller hard drive for OS and programs and use the 400 for storage.
