Computer Spec confirmation
Seems like there is alot of threads about new computers. I've taken a look at these threads and I think the parts I have chosen are good. Can anyone confirm if the components I've picked are good?

at first i also wanted a 450 Watt PSU but, in the store where i bought it they recommended me a 520 Watt so i bought a CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 520 Watt.

The PSU you've got is great - it's enough power on it's own and will pump out up to 586W if needs be...

I'd get a 4850 and a better keyboard though.
Definately get a Radeon 4850 or 4870, it's newer technology than the 8800GT, and over here the 4850 is cheaper then the 8800GT.
