Hiya Elmo ... Yeah its OK for general use

My sums were ok then.

i did toy with idea of upgrading the processor because i got the e5400 for nothing, but i checked around it would probably be a waste of money.

450W should do the trick for you. I would upgrade the PSU before I throw any major upgrades at that rig.
