Super Star
looks good but you should add a corsair psu as they are quieter and more reliable and also a better gpu if your using two screens.

specs are good, i would suggest going for a 650w psu as its a quality energy efficient psu which will last you many good years but you have a strict budget so its fine :)

apart from the good specs, i recommend the £5 silver warranty :)


Edit: ooh, adding to Mad's comment also.
