Motherboard is out of stock, get an Asus P5B.

Wrong ram, you need DDR2. Get a Corsair Value Select DDR2-667 dual channel kit.

That sound card is no better than the onboard audio.

We don't recommend Rosewill power supplies. Get an XClio 450BL or something made by FSP.

You don't need that NIC, the motherboard has an onboard controller.

Get a retail boxed DVD burner, OEM's don't come with any software. We recommend Lite-On.

Get a Seagate 7200.10 hard drive, better warranty and faster.

Close but no cigar.

You don't need the deluxe wifi board - the base P5B will save you some bucks.

Try to get a hard drive with 16mb cache.

The Goodpower isn't that good.

That's an OEM burner, no software.

Corsair is the recommended ram for that board.
