Is there anything I should change on this system?
And is everything compatible?
I'm not familliar with the wattage of the PSU, but I assume 600W is enought.

Thanks for the help ;)

Looks pretty good. Get a better PSU though. Also take a look at computer specs 101 for more sugestions.

I'm not familliar with the wattage of the PSU, but I assume 600W is enought.

Almost if not more important than wattage is amperage. That PSU's got plenty of both, but there are still better options for your budget.
 
looks good... i recently got 4400 x2 system as well, this thing is fast...

btw, i would suggest to get raptor 76gb 10k rpm for windows drive, and WD as a secondary... with raptor, when windows loading the bar doesn't even go all the way to the end the first time when it goes to windows :D

Its not worth the extra money to have a raptor so windows boots faster. I had a raptor but it simply wasnt worth it.

well what if your main drive gets a virus or something, then you would need to reformat and loose all your data... even if u do partion what if the drive goes bad, u will loose all your data as well... having 2 drives is very beneficial

I never said having 2 drives is bad. I said having a raptor drive is not worth the extra price.
