    Its good value alright....

    Do you have a link for it?

    If your going to upgrade the psu and graphics,give komplett a ring,the choice on the site is poor,no 8800gt/HD 3850 or 3870 etc

    :) good find Louis...

    Pc will be used for games/video?

    I would upgrade the psu to the Corsair Powersupply 620W Black,

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=327672

    And give them a ring to upgrade the graphics from a 8400gs to 8800gt 512mb (if you game that is,if you dont and just need a card for hd video etc the 8400gs will do fine)

    Not really for gaming tbh...

    I'll be using it more for digital imaging- it will have to deal with fairly large file sizes in photoshop (like today I was processing a PSD that was 250mb).

    So I might get away with not upgrading the PSU...

    Whats not so good about the graphics card? Because I'd need a fairly good 2D graphics card...

    PSU will be fine, I have a 375W powering an Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz with a 768MB 8800GTX graphics card.

    The important factor of the PSU is the volt amperage and combined amps.
