    Alright. I guess you would like opinions and a possible blessing at the end of this thread.

    All look fine to me but lack of budget and the 'only 60GB' SSD bothers me a little bit. Also I think you can cut back on the PSU (500W would do just fine).

    I suppose it depends on what you need the SSD for, however 120 / 128GB SSDs are under £40 these days, it seems silly to get less. Heck, even 256GB SSD's are routinely under £60, and occasionally under £50.
    I would honestly only get a 60GB SSD if you are never going to put Windows anywhere near it (eg OpenELEC or some Linux variant would be the only OS)
