Default Is this bundle worth it (Komplett)

Hi,
I am looking to buy a new bundle as my PC is in need of an upgrade, I am
looking at this one below currently £185.35 inc VAT
http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?a...4&GrpID=1&s=pl

Here is the spec: -
AMD Athlon XP2400+ 2.0 GHz 266 MHz bus Socket A (Thoroughbred) processor

Win CPU-Fan Socket A/7/370/FCPGA FSP82, Max AMD XP 2700+

Crucial PC2700 DDR-DIMM 512MB CL2.5 6ns Unbuffered, Non-parity, 2.5V, 64Meg
x 64

MSI KT4V-L mainboard for Socket A Retail, KT400, ATA133, ATX, USB2.0, AGP8X,
Sound

What you reckon?
Also.. what power supply would be needed for a spec like this, note that I
currently use 2HDD's. Or is my current 300W PSU enough?
Thanks

Not great considering that just £26 more buys you the following faster &
more future-proof set-up (also from komplett and including VAT):



Abit NF7 V2 mainboard - £66.62 (uses Nforce2 chipset rather than crappy VIA
KT400)

http://tinyurl.com/gv2r



AMD Athlon XP2500+ (Barton) processor OEM - £63.00 (cranks to 200MHz+ FSB
right out of the box giving you an instant XP3200+ 2.2GHz CPU)

http://tinyurl.com/gv30



2 x (for dual-channel use) Twinmos PC3200 DDR-DIMM 256MB CL2.5 RAM - £68.78

http://tinyurl.com/gv2n



GlobalWin CPU-Fan Socket A/7/370/FCPGA FSP82, Max AMD XP 2700+ (same as
you've selected) - £10.86

http://tinyurl.com/gv36




Your 300W PSU will likely suffice (although if it's a cheapo I wouldn't be
too sure)

nforce2 isn't too well supported under non-windows environments AFAICT,
which would certainly cause me to go with the KT400...

Perhaps no longer the case?
