I know I need a case and psu, any suggestions?

I am building this comp to be a beginner average gaming comp and also just to be faster and current laptop. This is around my smaller budget. Is this set up ok to start from, like the vid card and ram? Thanks all, Anth.

I dont see much wrong with it, If you can afford it I would upgrade the cpu to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103535

And try Comp Spec 101 for the power supply and look at some of the builds their.

Yea, I should of added that. Is there much of a difference between the 3000+ and the 3200+? Also is this step up ok for some future OCing?

believe it or not, but that video card performs about the same as a 6600GT.
