Build completely compatible?

Hey, this is my first build. Its for gaming, and future upgrading. Tell me what you think. All suggestions are appreciated. Also, let me know what you think of my MoBo

LG 18X DVD±R Super-Multi DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black IDE Model GSAH22N-BK - OEM

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black SECC STEEL ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply - Retail

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

XFX PVT71JYHE9 GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP ExTreme Edition Video Card - Retail

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4 - Retail

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+(65W) Windsor 2.2GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADO4200CUBOX - Retail

Tell me what you think on everything. Again, this is my first build, but I believe I have done enough research for everything to be compatible. Im just not totally sure about the MoBo... and maybe the video card... case. Oh ya, and Im not sure what power supply. This case comes with a 500w. That should be enough if Im not mistaken. Correct? Thanks

Welcome to PCM.

Here are my suggestions.

Switch the burner to a Lite-On that comes with Nero burning software. LG's are fine, but that one doesn't have software.

Raidmax power supplies are junk. Pick one from our Good list here: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=131195

We usually recommend eVGA video cards for their reputation of quality and customer service.

Don't forget a copy of Windows XP.
