This is my first full build so I wanna make sure I get it right.

My planned specs are:
Asus A8N-SLI
X2 4200+
2GB OCZ Value Series Dual Channel PC-3200 2GB
7800GT (probably get another in a few months)
NEC 3520A (already got)
WD Caviar SE16 WD2500KS
Thermaltake Soprano Case

I was thinking of this PSU:

Enermax Liberty ELT500AWT 500w (Watt) Modular Power Supply (PSU) Active PFC SLi Ready Version 2.2

Any thoughts/suggestions on the PSU or any of the other bits?

Thanks.
:D

Will I need a 620 for SLI-ing would the 500 be enough? I suppose with the 620 it gives me a bit a future proofing for future power hungry cards.

What about the rest of the build? Any thoughts?

Nope. Definitely not. What do you suggest?

I'm pretty much dead on budget now so it would need to be a similar price.

Motherboard :: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Processor :: AMD X2 4200+
RAM :: Corsair (TWINX2048-3200C2PT) 2GB
Harddisk :: WD Caviar SE16 WD2500KS
Graphics Card :: eVGA 7800GT
Case :: Thermaltake Soprano = £50.00
PSU :: Enermax Liberty 500W

= £999.01
 
I agree that the 620 is a better idea for the PS.

Also save a few bucks and get a X2 3800+ you can OC to 4200 speeds easy.

i have a 3000B it's a pretty nice case overall...very cost effective too.
