You're telling that to the guy who wrote PSU101. Dont forget to note that it will be, in fact, enough to power what he's got in the box.

I am sorry, o most high Prætor. *bows exaggeratedly* But what about upgrade headroom?

What he is getting is a pretty decent computer that he can use now. So next time why not try thinking it through before saying something instead of looking like a 13 year old child. (my regrets if you really are 13).

 I dont know about you but I fail to see how the system in post1 holds a candle to the one I spec'd in post3 given the requirements. He alludes to (without saying of course) the machine having future upgradability issues however fails to outline the logic behind there (something i'll skip over to lack of maturity) but from a technical point: sure the machine may lack expandability however in 5 years, my box is going to run better regardless -- upgrading the CPU in 5 years will require a new socket and thus new damn-near-everything thus eliminating any advnatage current upgradability has; furthermore without upgrading, my box will outperform it thanks to the fact i managed to crap a dualcore chip in there.
