Another thing...if you're planning on using Linux, get an nVidia graphics card...They tend to be better supported. :)

+1 that. My pc at work has two monitors but only the one with the nVidia graphics card shows anything. I have yet to get the second monitor (or bluetooth) to work in Fedora 7.

Power supplies (as mentioned) are a little devious, its all about rails that count towards a good power supply.

The corsair power supplies are very good , only around £70 for the modular 520W version.

Its a little stretched in my P180 thou so buy your case then power supply, whish I got one with longer cables to tidy it up better.
