your ram cost the most

go with a hdd with 16mb if you can and you might wanna get a floppy drive

you never know when you gonna need it like loading sata drivers or something.

there have been some discussions in this forum revealing that the C2D processors, like the one you are interested in, will be dropping in price at a rather reasonable level within 3-4 months.
