Pricing myself to around £500 (+ Windows 7), I was going for a pre-built system. However, I'm pretty sure this is better. I already have a case I can use (Antec Super Lanboy), but pretty much everything else needs replacing. I'd appreciate opinions on this setup, with a couple of caveats.
I want to order everything from one place (ideally Scan, as I trust them)
I'm limiting myself to what's in stock, my current system is on its' last legs, definitely

My only other question is how will I install Windows 7? When I installed XP, I needed a floppy with the SATA driver, has this been sorted out now? Will Windows install straight from the DVD?
