Build advice+Some other Q's

[namtlade]

Yes I did search before I created the topic, but all I got was a few topics that were all at least a year old, so on with the questions.

My plan is to buy components and build a computer myself. I do have experience of working with PC components, but have never actually built a whole computer before (mainly due to not having a job).
My budget is around £500-£600 max, not including peripherals. I plan to use it for general internet usage, but also gaming, particularly the Vista DX10 games.
This is a build that I've been recommended by someone else on another board (picture in attachment), which I will also add Vista Premium too.
I've asked my Uncle who works in computers, setting them up for other people etc and he said this about the build:

The PSU seems a little expensive. The DVD ROM seems a bit cheap. Otherwise OK

And my friend who has built many computers in the past said:

The case is rather small so is difficult to build in DON'T buy from overclockers.co.uk (the site that the first guy had recommended)- he'd had very poor customer service in the past *I think he said something about the motherboard but I'm not sure* To come to this website and ask your advice because you're very knowledgeable

So what I want to know is, what is your opinion on the components? Or have you got a complete build that's better that I should use?
And also, can you recommend any UK websites that I'd be able to buy from that are good? (my friend recommended ebuyer)

Hope you can help, sorry that it's a lot to read.

Those are decent parts for a budget gamer.
I'd take your friend's advice on a larger case and I'd get a power supply with more wattage, nothing less than 500 ( and a good one; nothing like having a cheap power supply fry parts worth 2 and 3 times it's value. ) .
No power supply on this side of the Atlantic is considered SLI compliant at 400 watts, is that a mis-print?
What that would mean is that you'd be able to upgrade later with minimal expense ( as a gamer upgrades will be in your future) and hassle and you'd be less likely to have cooling problems.

go for corsair 520W PSU.

i was going to buy my parts from overclockers until i found ebuyer which is cheaper and gives free shipping if you can wait 5 days for it. i also looked at a few other sites but ebuyer was best.

if you want to play DX10 games you need a DX10 compatible card which means NVIDIA 8600 or 8800 card, the 7900 you have will work fine for most games out at moment but isnt set up for DX10 games in future.
