i wouldnt use the powersupply that comes with the case but that one doesnt look bad. the ram is good but upgrade to 1 GB when you get more money. that is not a good videocard. what games are you going to be playing on the comp. everything else looks good.

EDIT: the videocard is AGP and your motherboard is PCI-EXPRESS you need a PCI-EXPRESS videocard.
 
First off thanks for replying!

I am getting 1 GB of ram.

The reason I wanted to get that video card is because it had the VIVO with tv tuner and remote. Is there a better way to go to get TV on the comp? Should I get a video card and a seperate tv tuner card? If so, any suggestions?

I really only have played Americas Army about a year ago until my current comp couldn't do it anymore.

Thanks again

To get TV onto the computer via VIVO you'll still need a decoder of sorts (i.e., a TV/VCR)... to natively do so you'll need a TV tuner :)

Does that have hardware encode? (doubtful but just checking)
