How is this? I don't need a crazy hardcore system, I'm not to interested in some of the newer games. I play games like AOE3, AOM, Rome:TW. I'd mainly use it for browsing the internet and some gaming. Is there anything you can recommend for me? I need everything, including operating system, speakers, mouse, keyboard, and the necessary parts.

Prbablely don't need that much motherboard, would look tothe Asus P5B series or the P5K. For the ram go with the Value Select, The XMS in the 667 is a waste of money.
Would look for a case without a PSU and get a quailty PSU, something in the 450 to 500 watt range. A good PSU in that power range will cost in the $100 range + or - $30. Ones that are included with cases tend to be junk.

Yep I agree with everything that flanzig1 says Asus are good quality motherboards! Just out of curriosity, what website or store will you be ordering the parts from? Because the guy who built my computer most likely got them from tigerdirect.ca which is very reliable and good for shipping, etc. However, you may want to try canadacomputers or dangeo, because I believe its a little bit cheaper, but how realiable? That is the question..
