2 GB RAM - Transend
Seagate 500 GB

Antec is solid. You may also want to take a look at Corsair, Seasonic, and OCZ's 80 Plus power supplies if you want to save a bit of cash and still be safe.

650W will be plenty for that system and you will want 4GBs of RAM.

Thanks man,
I am curious why 4 Gb is required ?

Its the standard now a days. Applications are needing more and more memory.

Also, you mine as well pay the extra $20 for twice the memory. P55 is designed for 2 and 4 sticks of RAM. If you are using a single 2GB stick the motherboard will not take full advantage since its not running Dual Channel.

Yes get 4GB Ram.preferably the same model and same brand as of the 1st one.
Since Vista/Windows 7 will use 1GB RAM themselves along with Antivirus and other programs.
That leaves 1GB for other purposes like gaming which is quite LOW.
Even a 3 year old game utilizes 1GB of RAM,

Even a Cosair 550Vx or 650TX will be sufficient for your rig.

Antec 700W will be enough to handle the rig.

From your comment i get it that a 650w antec will do the job . Will putting in a 700w PSU , where a 650w is required do any damage . Assuming too much power like in over voltage .
