Hi I was planning to build a PC with the following parts, tweaks are needed cause some parts are outdated or not compartible etc. So help will be appreciated. I personally watch alot of movies and series and convert alot of movies as well obviously but play games very rarely so is this all right? Here is the list.

LG Black, 52xCD-ROM 16xDVD-ROM, IDE (PATA), OEM - http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductIn...roductID=652552 @ £11.20

256/512MB XFX 8400GS PCI-E (x16), Mem 800MHz, GDDR2, GPU 450 MHz, D-Sub/DVI/S-Video - http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductIn...roductID=617626 @ £28.78

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2 Retail - http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductIn...roductID=136431 @ £160.08

Of cause the speakers, monitors and keyboard etc as well but then I will choose those to my preference.

Total = 827.05 without the monitor etc.

Would all these parts fit together nicely to form a complete pc?

Is this value for money or can I improve it alot with other cheaper parts?

Also regarding the internal hard drive, would it be possible to fit in two of those, so to have 2 internal hard drives?

Thanks
