Somewhat new build

Hey guys, I am upgrading my current PC.

I will be re-using the following parts- 9800GTX, PSU corsair 550, 250g sata HD

So I will be needing a new mobo, cpu, os, ram, case.

I was thinking an e7400 with 4 gigs of 800mhz or faster ram.
Please try and it keep it around $500 or so seeing how I am also needing a new car :)

But I am not to sure for the mobo, cpu, ram what you suggest. Also vista os please.

Last question (I sware) will I be able to still use the call of duty 4 I have on my current PC? Like will I be able to install it on the new one and be able to play online?

Thanks

Re: Somewhat new build

I shouldn't say it seems bad, it seems as though its overpriced for what I would be getting.

Re: Somewhat new build

My post was merely suggestions within the budget you posted.
I don't use AMD or Vista. Total of $352.
The Lite-On DVDRW you linked to is out of stock.
The case you linked to is a Mini Tower. It will accept a ATX Mobo but I don't like to use a case that small for a Dual or Quad core CPU because of the poor ventilation.
Bottom line-it's your money.
