I`ve been looking into building a rig for under £800 and this is what I got so far and was wondering if there is anything I should change that might not work well or could swap for a better part for sameish price.

Also would I have to use vista/xp 64 or would 32bit be fine with no difference.

cheers :)

4gb is enough for 32bit but for i7s you should get it in 3 seperate modules so either 3gb for 32bit or 6gb for 64bit, personally i'ld suggest the 64bit option and then dual boot with XP 32bit or try and virtulise it for compatibility.

Ah ok thanks going to go with 6BG 2gbX3 then :)

Would this PSU with Antec 300 be a better selection ?:)

Also changed the cpu cooler so pretty underbudget now :)
