Congratulations for your machine JamesT. Sounds good.
The only thing that worries me is the PSU - if it's the one from the JNC case - then yikes. I have bad memories from JNC. Although still have one at home but a little bit modified. Once again congrats.

Congrats on getting it up James!
For the rebooting problem. .. has it been doing that "since" you first booted? Or did it start happening after you installed something?

It started when i installed the Video Card.
I also looked at the CPU Temp and its around 40-50C!!!! I think i should get a better CPU Fan, Any recommendations?

I can't recommend a fan - I'm sure others that have changed lately will do. But once again m8, try to change your PSU. It's not worth it to risk your whole machiine (which I presume costs alot) for maybe 50-70 Pounds.
. Good luck

Besides I just found something about the word UPGRADE:
"The definition of an upgrade: Take old bugs out, put new ones in" - Unknown So be careful
