I recently built my first desktop. I am 14 and obviously don't have enough money to build a supercomputer, but I got a job to get some money. I have a huge interest in computers and am only going to use it for internet, music and some games(not overly demanding), maybe sometimes, more demanding things.

Case: MS-Tech ATX Midi-tower Black
Power:550w Silent(included in case)
Motherboard:ABIT AB9 QuadGT, P965, Socket-775, GbLAN ,ATX, 8xSATAII, DDR2, Firewire, PCI-Ex16
CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.67GHz 1333Mhz Socket LGA775, 4MB, BOXED w/fan
RAM:OCZ Platinum DDR2 PC6400 2048MB KIT, w/two 1024MB PC6400
Graphics:Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 PRO 512MB DDR2, PCI-Express, 2xDVI-I/Tv-out/HDMI, 128bit
HDD:Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM
OS:Vista Ultimate OEM

Can anyone see if I went wrong anywhere although it has worked perfectly for about 2 weeks now.
Is it good?
 
I forgot to say I put in a DVD/CD ram r+ rw- lightscribe something or another, it has everything apart from blu-ray. Floppy as well. And some fans(light up fans)
 
It looks fine to me overall, except PSU.
MB, I will go for one with P35 chipset. But P965 is fine.
GPU, since the extra 256MB on for the GPU will not have great difference in performance in gamming, I will personally go for 2600XT/ 8600GT for similar price range.
PSU: I personally not suggest using PSU come with case. It is too dangerous! Just like a bomb in the PC. I have had heard house fire cause by short circuit of PSU.
