Case: Enter no power supply in the search at Newegg for about 300 of them. Get something that you like the looks of.

RAM: The value select will be fine. You only need the XMS if you are planning on overclocking.

Operating System: XP oem with SP2 will do, unless you need some specific feature of XP Pro.

Floppy Drive: Likely to be needed during the build.

Optical Drives: Look at the Liteons, good quality and come with the burning software.

Hard Drive(s): SATA 7200 rpm 16Mb cache from Seagate or Western Digital. Avoid the Raptors. They are overrated, overpriced and noisy.

Sound Card: Not needed. The motherboard has pretty good onboard 8 channel sound already. Try it before you buy a card.
