The PSU is on the weaker end. A good 600w or higher will ensure stability while leaving room for future upgrades. Windows XP 32-bit can only effectively use about 3.5GB of RAM, so keep that in mind if you aren't using a 64-bit version. If you plan to do more video work in the future then a 64-bit OS and more RAM would be a worthwhile investment.

Other than that I'd say you're good to go.
