Building a computer

Looks pretty good. Couple of changes I would make though. If you can fit it in get a dual core processor like the Athlon 64 X2 3800+, look for RAM with a lower CAS latency like this G.Skill 2GBNS, and lastly, DVD burners are pretty standard now, so its worth getting one.

Otherwise looks good. Nice find on the PSU :)

EDIT: Maybe sacrafice on the RAM or the video card card to make room for an X2 3800+.

Besides the memory which is still pc3200 and the psu both being unfamiliar the remaining hardwares look satifactory. Some will offer other preferences for the video card however. Corsair and Kingston seem to work well with Asus boards especially if you are planning to game alot. Enermax and Antec are two names among several better made supplies. Good price now on the OEM buy for XP Home with SP2 included. The Sony combo should prove to be worth the investment. Those get good reports.
