Looks a good spec for your needs. You could maybe get the 560Ti GPU depending on your budget but either way it will be good enough. I would certainly change the HDD to a Caviar Black as its much faster.

Thanks for your input
I took your idea of the black hard drive and amended my order
But think updating gpu will mean increasing psu from 450 to 600
But thanks again

I think you would be fine with 450w even if you upgraded to a 560Ti. If you have the budget I would upgrade both GPU and PSU if not leave it as it is.

get a caviar black drive as they will perform much better

also do you really need 2 blu ray drives? the first one does everything

id recommend getting a corsair PSU they are much better build quality

also do you really need professional version of windows, it may just be a waste of extra cash as you may not take advantage of the few additions there are, google 'windows 7 comparison' for a feature list of each version

you may want to remove the free trials if you arent going to use them, a lot of people find it just clogs up your PC right from the start whereas some people believe that they aree worth a try
