RAM: Corsair ValueSelect 2x 512MB
Mobo: ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 Socket 754
Video Card: BIOSTAR GeForce 6600GT 256MB PCI-E

Thanks in advance.

With your set up you really don't need a 500watt psu.

And don't buy socket 754 go for 939. A 3000+ 939 is about 40$ more. A 3200+ 939 cpu is about 50$ more. More options for future upgrades and just newer.

but if you go with 939 you will need to look into a different mother board.

The power supply will fit in the case. However, it's not suitable for that build for 2 reasons - it's only 20 pin, you need a 24 pin ATX 2.0 unit - and any 500 watt unit at that price is not likely to be a quality unit. I understand budget, but cheap power supplies can fail and take out other components when they do.

That may be a micro ATX motherboard, but it will fit in a full size ATX case - which would be a better way to go for cooling reasons - and future upgrade possibilities.

I'd also look at a better motherboard - Asrock is a low end manufacturer.

Socket 754 is also a dead end - try to justify a 939, you will be better off. If you do get a 754, make sure you get the Venice core, not the Newcastle.
