You'll need a decent PSU

You can always use a Psu calculator like this one:-

Ok, so aside from the PSU does the rest of the stuff seem ok? Don't want to buy stuff and it end up not working....

[PeterStoba]

Yeah, it'll all work

New PSU yours won't have dedicated sata and will probably be one you originally got free with a case. Go for a OCZ stealth 550 or 600.

Ok, i'll look into a decent PSU.

One other question i wanted to ask was would a SATAII HDD with an 8mb cache be preferable to a SATA HDD with a 16mb cache or vice versa?

[PeterStoba]

The more cache the faster the drive reads / writes, so in answer to your question no
