forgot to say i have a geforce 9800 GT 512 mb Graphics card to add in once i get my machine

Uhmmm the integrated graphic card could be a problem, and more if you want the pc for games. the procesor and RAM are good, also the PSU. The HDD isn't enough for my.

with that in mind - will it be ok to put that in before i boot the machine up for the 1st time? will the machine find it ok i mean?

Yes, the machine will pick it up or at the least, you'll have to go into the BIOS and disable the on-board video, which wouldn't be a bad idea any ways...

^+1 Always is better a mobo without video on board that a mobo with integrated video, independent if you dissable the video on board or not.

I mentioned this in your other post, but keep in mind that NO P55 motherboards have onboard video. The company you're buying this from is not listing the specs correctly.
