My first PC build. What do ya think?

[Calibretto]

Me and my friend are collaborating to build a decent PC. We found all the parts that we might use and wondering if it's a good setup:

Case: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1185218&Tab=1&NoMapp=0

Mobo & CPU: http://3btech.net/cedmsi6764mo.html

Memory: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=586829&Sku=ULT30215

HDD: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1579175&CatId=0

Video Card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1440527&CatId=0

Sound Card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1111756&CatId=0

CD Drive: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1043377&CatId=0

All this stuff adds up to about $320.

It's not bad for the price, but certainly won't be able to game with recent games , if that's what you're looking to do. What do you want to use it for? If you can get $500 or so, have a look at computer spec 101:

It's only gonna be playing occasional games here and there. Mostly a computer light multitasking

What games would you say. THe MX4000 is not now known for gaming power. And by light multitasking, AIM, web browsing, music, etc?

 

[Calibretto]

games like Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 mostly. and Multitasking like burning CDs, downloading, having like 8 web pages open at once.

512meg should just be able to handle that, but if you want to have it running quicker or be able to have your game running in the background I would reccomend another 512meg or just a 1024mb stick
