^haha to tell you the truth, i wasnt even looking at what type of hdd it was, my bad :D, thx, that one should be a lot better.:)
 
Looks pretty solid. Nice budget build.

I've built similar systems, and I've used this board and it works great:

Foxconn M61PMV AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 ($49.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186155

Also, this RAM is a bit sexier:
OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 ($39.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227199

This case is also kinda sexy with it's Darth Vader-like gloss black front:

Rosewill R226-P-BK 120mm Fan ATX Mid Tower ($24.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147110

I can also personally vouch for this psu, and Rosewill psu's as I've used a couple of each and had no issues:

APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500W ($29.99 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate)

Personally i would trust corsair ram over ocz, have you seen how incompatible it has been with ddr3 mobos? Plus the corsair kit is $19.99 after rebate atm;)

We're talking about DDR2 kits, and I've personally used this kit and it works great.

I recommend Dominators for DDR3. =D

I know we are talking about ddr2, look up a few posts and you'll see i recommended corsair memory thats on sale at the moment for $19.99 after rebate and free shipping. For ddr2 any of the better brands like kingston, ocz, corsair, mushkin, etc are fine, but im just recommending the corsair mainly for it being more economical, which is better considering this is a budget build;) I have nothing against ocz, i think for the money its pretty nice memory, i had no problems with it with my 790i but i know alot of people have, im plenty happy with it, just as i was saying earlier, the corsair has a better price at the moment;)
