Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Another satisfied Overclockers.co.uk customer I see.

The system you have specced there seems fine to me apart from you might want to increase the PSU size  a little!!! :o  Seriously I take it you meant 550W and that should be big enough for your present needs as long as you are not planning any upgrades within it's lifetime.

Make sure the memory is purchased as a matching kit.

Hah, yes I meant 550w. I thought I corrected that typo, apparently not.

As for the memory, they come as 2, 2GB sticks in the same pack.

In that case I would say it should be fine. ;) Let us know how the build goes and if you need any help.
