A couple of thoughts: If you don't plan on over clocking, skip the Gigabyte CPU cooler. The stock retail one works good and won't void the warranty on the CPU. Same goes for the ram, could go with the PC3200 if not OCing.

I've never heard of that PSU brand before.

definitely want to change to another psu, like enermax, xclio, etc. refer to power supply guide for more appropriate brands. ditto for the cooler. if you;re not overclocking then stock will do you fine. otherwise id get the thermalright xp 120 or xp 90 along with arctic silver 5.

Akasa happens to be a high quality power supply, Nav. Just because you have never heard of it, do some research before making a statement like that.

The best ram match for that system is DDR2 533 - that 667 Ballistix is overkill.

I would consider a DVD burner instead of that combo drive.

Indeed, they're not that expensive.
Talking about expensive: if you're planning on gaming, AMD is a better choice than Intel: cheaper and better performance.
And I heard to NEVER get an MSI motherboard.
