Parts recommendation needed

My first stab at this build was newegg and tigerdirect parts with good reviews. While it might be good for individual parts I doubt this approach works best as a whole.
I hope some of the experts here can give me feedback on the selected components- (I know I will be returning some based on other feedback- TY Alaron). Feel free to suggest other parts!

"Best" is based on use of course so here's what it will be used for.
PC will be used for very low end games- not a gamer- some 3D AOE type stuff perhaps- but really it will a pre-teens machine for surfing- but I want the option to upgrade to better stuff later on. Budget is tight at around $600. With rebates this list is at around $540.

Heres my existing list:

Power Up Black 2525 Atx Mid-t Case
ECS nForce 570 SLIT-A Socket 775 Motherboard
Intel Pentium D 940 3.2Ghz DT 800FSB Socket 775
VGA EVGA GF 7100GS 128-P2-N411-LX R - Retail
Ultra 500w V-Series PSU Black
CPUCOOLER|ARCTIC P4|ACFZ7-PRO R - Retail
CPU THERMPASTE|ARCTIC SILVER5 3.5G% - OEM
Dlink DWL-G510 Wireless PCI Adapter 802.11g
Ultra 512MB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz (x2)
Lite-On 20X DVDRW Super-Multi Lightscribe LH20A1H
Maxtor 80GB Serial ATA HD 7200/8MB/SATA-3 (only wanted one "smaller" HD for now)
Logitech Cordless Desktop S510


Going back so far:
The PSU- should have 4-PIN 12V connector for MOBO but doesn't

Cant go back- (no return policy)
CPU

Thanks for looking!

You already have a thread going on this same subject. Please keep any questions you have on it in there. We don't generally criticise the quality of parts that a member has already purchased - if you want some comments and opinions, just ask in that thread.
