That looks fine, but you could get a intel setup for about the same price but get better performance. Just giving you a another option.

-Asus P5L-MX $77

-C2D E4300 $115

AND get 2gb of ram for 3 bucks less!
-Corsair VS DDR2 667 2GB $64.99

-You can also save on the powersupply by going with this: Foxconn TS-1 $44.99

Its a quality case that comes with a 300w FSP powersupply. Perfect for your setup.

Another option would be to go with a DELL.

They make good office machines.

Thanks Minsonngo...
Actually I'm replacing a Dell with this one--I just don't like all the junkware, not having a system disk, etc... The prices are very inviting but I would rather do it myself...

Those are great suggestions Mr. Ferrari--thanks!

I'll rethink it a little.

Please stop giving bad advice.

eMachines are low quality builds with horrible PSUs and low end motherboards. I deal with eMachines all the time at the shop... and they are bad news.
