I guess this is my first active topic.
Just got back, posting in Hello's forum shortly.
First thing I did was upgrade my computer to this:

8GB DDR3 RAM (http://www.bttech.com.au/kingston-hyperx-khx1600c9d3t1k28gx-ddr3-16000mhz-2x4gb-p-235400.html)

EDI: Now I can play rs gud ya?
Quite a nice rig tbh. Not too sure about your PSU though. My friend bought a 1000w Bronze PSU and only got about 750w out of it, so there not very efficient.
waits for JC/Robbie
Yeah I'm keen to hear what Robbie thinks in particular.

Looks perfectly fine to me. A 500-600W quality PSU would be fine for this rig.
And if you have a PSU that won't put out rated power, then it's a bad PSU or a cheap one. The wattage rating is /output/ not input.
Why did you buy a new PC if you are out of the country 90% of the time? ##
