    I'd recommend getting a more reliable power supply, CIT aren't known for sturdy PSU's.
    You'd also probably be better off ordering from Scan or hardwareversand, they tend to be cheaper than Amazon.

    Give us your budget and needs and we should be able to throw something together for you from either of these sites.

    my budget would be 500 max including windows. monitor keyboard and mouse are extras so no need to include them. id use it for itunes, browsing and maybe the odd gam of call of duty of fifa 12. in my other thread deconduo posted a setup and i want to get a another opinion

    Yeah, deconduo's build from the other thread is very good for the price, I'd recommend going for it.

    I'd stay away from the parts you have chosen, for ~€50 more deconduo's build is much better.
