What is the price on that stuff you already have? I'm too lazy to look it up and your link doesn't work.

You still need a power supply, DVD drive, and an operating system and I didn't see that you listed any.

Just tell me the price of what you already have listed there and I(and the other members) can help you pick out the other parts that will fit in your budget.

Sorry about that, the link should work now.

The total right now is $1,007.86

That also includes a LiteOn 20x Dvd drive and a 22' Acer Moniter.
I also own a copy of Vista Home Premium (32bit) sorry forgot to mention those.

I was thinking an Antec 500w (59.99) for the PSU

what do you think?

Well just to let you know, with the 32bit OS you can't use all 4GB of your RAM, I think the max is 3.5GB

And for the PSU get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817703015 or a Corsair brand PSU.

And for the case, I would get an Antec 900 instead or an Antec P182/P180

BTW, your link still doesn't work, you need to make it a public wishlist.

I do remember reading that about the OS. Ill probably end up getting the 64bit version then.

Thanks for your other suggestions.

Does everything else I have look okay?

Looks good to me and get 64bit Vista for your OS so you can use all 4GB that you're getting.
