Ok, so I've been putting together my specs for a new PC, and come up with the following list of components.

Is there anyone here who is tech-savvy enough to tell me if they should all work together? I've done a fair amount of research and think that this should be a fairly good system (for my budget), but I'd be interested to hear everyone's opinions.

Yes, I know that it's not top of the line, but I'm upgrading from a piece of sh-t and don't have a lot to spend. Still, if you think I'm wasting money on a cheap component, then you're welcome to advise.

Cheers y'all.

Basic Spcs

Intel i5 (Quad core, 2.6mhz)
4x1Gb DDR3 RAM
EDITED Nvidia GT 240
EDITED: 500Gb SATA drive @ 7200rpm
700W PSU

Tech Specs

Asus P7P55-M, Intel P55 Express, S1156, PCI-E 2.0(x16), DDR3 2200(OC), SATA 3Gb/s, SATA RAID, mATX

My budget was £500 (UK) including VAT. This sits at £480, so I will be using my old monitor, keyboard, mouse, optical drives etc. for the moment. Have yet to choose a case.
