Well for starters it looks like your MOBO and your RAM arent compatible. you need DDR2 Ram for that MOBO. and the MOBO only supports 800MHZ... I think you are overpaying for you HDD. I got the same one but it is 160GB for 199.99CND. If you want a good cheap card go with a factory overclocked GeForce 9600GT.

The motherboard you have chosen is great. However, the power supply you are planning on using won't be much good for a decent video card. I know you haven't told us what you plan to use there, but a 430 watt power supply is not large enough for most computers today. In addition, unless it is the "toughpower" series from Thermaltake, I would not purchase a Thermaltake power supply for a rig like this.

Thanks for your guys help, I am going to purchase the case, mobo and ram (the one that dai said to get), and I will purchase the rest next week. Anymore reccomendations on a good cpu (preferably under $300-$400 (quad core)). And I may set up water cooling, is it worth it to set up water cooling and is it quite hard or easy?

Thanks
