Cool. I'd personally change one or two things, but it's definately a kickass PC.

Well my comment probably doesn’t mean as much as our "heavy weights" in terms of electronics but I say go for it.
On a different note grats on your new room and college accommodation. :)

like I had said, its soo I dont get home sick...You will eventually and all the money in the world will not buy you a way to avoid that, trust me I know what I'm talking about here since I say it from personal experience.
You can not overcome your roots it is always with you a part of you your heritage. But just keep your perspectives straight the most important thing in life is a goal, just keep that in mind and you will make it just fine.

Get 2GB of memory, no question whatsoever. But if you plan to overclock at all, make sure you get a 2x1024 configuration, since you can't overclock worth shit if all four slots are used.
