A good starting point for budget gamers. Although, I can't recommend enough going for a PCI express motherboard.

I agree with the PCIE comment. I would also NOT put that PSU in my PC. I would spend ~$20 more and get the 450 watt XClio.

Not too sure about the choice of socket 754 either. Admittedly, they are cheaper, but that's only because they're the next to be phased out.
Going skt 939 gives the upgradability that the majority of home-builders like to have. It also means you'll probably have to settle for a 3000+  Freakitchen
