PC - PC advice for an Aussie - View Post

It turns out that Gocomp is about half a km from my house and it's prices look decent so I'll probably go through them. So far I've worked from the Whirlpool $1500 rig with some adjustments

CPU: AMD Phenom II 945

Mobo: Gigabyte MA785GT-UD3H $108

RAM: 4GB DDR3 (brand? does it matter)

HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB $105 (will probably double this)

GPU: 1GB ATI Radeon HD5850

Case: SilverStone Raven RV02 (looks cool butwill probably go for a more modestly priced case, any suggestions or strong feelings)

PSU: AcBel 510W PSU (sufficient?)

ODD: Sony-NEC Optiarc AD-7240S $39 (not too fussy about this as long as it works)

CPU HSF: Noctua NH-U12P SE2 $95 (no idea about this, suitable?)

ANYTHING ELSE I NEED, SHOULD CONSIDER OR CHANGE?

Once again thanks for all the help.
