You left out a few details, such as what you will use the PC for, the graphics card, power supply and hard drive.

I will not be gaming. I do multitask mid to heavy range. I use adobe photoshop and keep a lot of browser windows open.

Since it's not intended for gaming, I'd say you have a nice PC that should work just fine for your needs.

Personally, I wouldn't run a computer without a minimum of a 380 watt PSU.

This Antec; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033&Tpk=Antec EA380D (On sale til 6/22) or this Corsair http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9008&cm_re=Corsair_PSU-_-17-139-008-_-Product

The 300 watt PSU power point has a lot of junk aimed at OEM and cheapie replacements in it. I suppose there's a few good ones also. Seasonic and Fortran Source come to mind. The Antec above is either built by Seasonic or Delta
