People might diss your choice of Vista Ultimate, but otherwise it's a solid affordable build. The PSU seems relatively weak for CF, though. I would have gone with a 650 or 750W version.

Yeah so far I have no issues with Vista, everything runs and runs well enough, I prefer the visual flare of vista to XP, i'm a sucker for flashy visuals :p, as for the PSU, it runs like a champ so until i upgrade the graphics cards sometime down the road I would hope it would keep up the good work :P
