Thoughts on this system? I'm on a budget and going AM2 AMD ATI style!

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Socket AM2
Asus M2N32-SLi Deluxe Motherboard Socket AM2
OCZ Modstream 520W Modular PSU
Antec P180 Advanced Super-Midi Case Silver
Arctic Cooling Fan 120MM x2
ATI Radeon X800 Pro
DVD-RW Drive
2GB (2x1GB) OCZ Dual Channel DDR2 RAM
Western Digital 74GB Raptor Drive
Creative X-Fi SoundBlaster Sound Card
200GB External Hard Drive
 
What is you budget?
This looks good i would have to say get a conroe, and a better Video card. and why the external drive? are you going to be moving computers alot?
 
Sorry, should of added more detail into my post ;P I chose Intel on my first computer (which was not that long ago), and was deeply, deeply disappointed. I took a look at Conroe, and still want to go AMD style.

The Graphics card isn't overly good as I will be waiting for DirectX 10 to come out, R600 style!

74GB internally is fine for me, as I am a gamer and don't have "that" many applications that hog the space!

Most of my current drives are filled with media that my whole family uses also, so the external hard drive offers graet benefits there.

I'm on a measly budget of 500 quid! (Selling my current computer will bring it up to at least 755)
 
in that case sounds good. but still 74 is kinda small, and the 10,000 rpm isnt extremely noticable. i would just suggest getting a 250GB 7200.
 
Don't get the OCZ. (filled with problems). I had the same Ram and had tons of problems. Look on newegg.com at the reviews for the OCZ DDR2 ram, people say to watch out for it if you have AM2. Now I have Corsair XMS and it runs like a dream.
