Only worry would be PSU as I am not sure the quality of Arctic power...
I would recommend spend slightly more on PSU. probably FSP/ OCZ 500W??

RAM - 2 x 1GB should working faster.

case - Internal of Casecom KM-6988/ Casecom 6189 look similar, £5 cheaper

Yeah that's what I originally thought but if you go on the link and look at the reviews, it has so many and all are 5 stars. That provided me with comfort.
Eventually I would, of course upgrade it to a well know brand but as I wont be doing much until I get my GPU I don't see the point.

Surely it doesn't make a difference? 2 single sticks are more expensive anyway, I was on a very tight budget.

I'm not too worried about the case as it was very cheap anyway and has served me good to date.

Also, as a note. I base quite a lot of my decision on the reviews.
