Not a bad for a first try.
I am impressed since you never built a system before and its all compatable
Anyways, I am suggesting you are using this for gaming? Am I correct? If not then what?
Also, what is your budget?
Anyways, these days Intel's C2Ds are the better processors (unless you are going for a budget build).
So I would suggest to stick with Intel since they have the newer and better architecture currently.
You will obv. have to change your motherboard as well this means.
As for the Hard Drive, you may want to consider a SATA hard driver instead of a PATA (or IDE) hard drive. The main reasons are many high end mobos are getting rid of 2 PATA interfaces and only use 1 now (which is used by your DVD and/or CD Drives). The other is that data travels faster over SATA.
As with your memory, very good choice.
I would agree to stick with the Crucial Ballistix 2 x 1GB kit, but go for either DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 RAM. Go with the DDR2-800 RAM only if you are going to OC. If not then stick with the DDR2-667 RAM. The reason I say dont bother with the DDR2-1066 RAM is bc you wont see any benefits from this RAM over the others and it isnt worth the premium. Plus, the DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 modules can reach DDR2-1066 when OCed.
I would suggest looking at Corsairs Power Supplies. They are one of the best brands out right now and they are modular (which helps when building and doing wire management).
When shopping for a power supply you mainly want to pay attention to the amps provided on the 12V line(s). This is what powers most of the components in your computer. Plus the Corsair PSUs offer one of the highest effeciency percentages.
Very nice video card choice (Can't beat EVGA either
)
Nice Case (it is very popular).
