GPU- better, cheaper, free shipping, dont forget to use the coupon code:

Memory, better off with a two module kit for dual channel:

CPU+MOBO, honestly, this is the place to put the $20 over the athlon X2 you have listed there, this is based off the Phenom architecture which is more effecient than the older athlon X2 architecture:

just windows xp =\ i don't have vista and if i did the ram wont be good i will upgrade it in the future =] lol mybe they have something new out
 
No, I've read 1.5gigs is fine for Vista. I was just asking because if you didnt' have an OS, you'd have to buy one, lol.
 
Personally, i would go with the ati card as it performs quite a bit better even than the 9600gt there, and the motherboard i wouldnt go with as its kinda a lower chipset. These are good mobos tho:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392

Although at the price level of the 9600gt, i would get this:

what you think
Click to expand...

Well, i think thats a great setup, except the psu. Wattage isnt everything, i would go with a good brand like ocz/antec/corsair/pcpower&cooling/list goes on over an off brand like sigma(off brands often fail, and when a psu fails, it usually takes out other components alongside it). The psu is the heart of a system, and truely is the most important. Plus amperage on the +12v rails is more important than total wattage. Personally, id go with this psu($5 off with listed coupon code, plus same price as sigma unit after rebate, and modular):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016
or this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341012
 
I'd go with the PSU bomber posted. It has more amps on the +12v rail. If the GeForce 9600 you posted earlier needed a minimum of 22 amps, and the available amount offered by that Sigma PSU is 20 amps, then your card will be underpowered.

Just a question, but will you be OCing that processor? It's a black edition, so.
 
cool thanks thats the system i might not OC it at first becasue that only game i will be playing is Fallout3 and it only needs a 2.4 GHz =\ i will only OC it if i need to i dont wnat to kill the system =\ lol thanks yall for your help =]
 
Np. When you do plan to OC, be sure to get an aftermarket heatsink. Those are way better than the ones that come along with the CPUs. Or you could look into water cooling in the future. It's basically cooling parts with water, lol.
