What games are you going to be playing? The 7300 is NOT a strong gaming card at all. When building a gaming PC, build backwards, starting with the video card, as that is THE single most important item.

I would definately opt for 2gb if possible. As this is a gaming pc.

And your missing a powersupply, a case, and a motherboard. And possibly a sound card and/or optical drives.

Dont forget the windows xp copy either..
