For power supply get atleast 400watts, and has to be brand name else it will be crap. Enermax, Thermal Take, Zalman, Antec are all good. A few other good ones but these are the majors.

what?

Nice setup.

PSU:Fortron 530W - &#036;75

As for the LCD, you might want to get Samsung&#39;s 710T - the difference between them, is that the 710T is using a DVI whilst the 710N uses an Analog input.Colours will look nicer, and there will be less ghosting with a Dvi.I&#39;ve read many good things about the 710T from gamers, but the 710N should be just as good.

Your call.

You think the DVI connector is worth paying &#036;81 more? Will it really look that much better?

If your gonna be spending that much on a monitor. You should go with the DVI. It will give a better picture.


Edit:
Keep comments related to topics.

don&#39;t waste &#036; getting the dual layer. get the nec one for 67 or 63 (blk or wite) and u can get a firmware hack that will allow it to do the same as ur dual layer burner. just a tip.

Will either NEC one allow you to copy copyrighted dvds?

Edit: And also, if I get the &#036;4.99 Zalman 80mm case fans (4 of them). What exactly do they get their power from? I know the cpu fan gets them from the motherboard, but I doubt there are that many fan connecters on the motherboard. Also, won&#39;t I need some sort of extender cable for the fan to reach whatever it uses for power?

they connect to molex connectors (same thing as the power source for a hard drive or cd drive):
