Hi so looking to buy a new PC tomorrow. Found this...

Extra Value Desktop PC, Pentium Dual Core E6300 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, DVDRW, No Operating System

Which seems like a good deal. Obviously I need an OS for it (not going Linux before anyone says it :look

so would I be best of going for OEM? Never bought OEM before...

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - Licence and media - 1 PC - OEM - DVD - 32-bit - English

Only other concern is the integrated graphics, would mind upgrading that, so was looking at this...

ATI HD 4770 512MB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card

Which I'm told should be run with a minimum 450W PSU. When I was searching on google I also found a page which said... "with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connectors recommended" don't really know about this. Found a 700W PSU which has "PCI Express - 1x PCI EXPRESS connector" is that the same thing?

Sumvision PowerX2 700W PSU - 2x SATA 1x PCI-Express

Or would I be better off with this one which actually mentions the 6-pin PCI Express power connectors...

Extra Value Titan 650W Neon PSU - 12cm Fan, 20+4pin, 1x SATA, 1x PCI-E

Thanks

And 4gb ram and 32bit windows, it will only be 3gb. Need 64bit I believe.
