Welcome to PCMech.
That all looks fine, I just see one problem. The Shuttle comes with a 250w power supply, which is too low for that whole setup. I wouldn't use anything less then 450w for those parts with that video card.

Agree with alaron on PSU, You need 450 and up for your set up. If you plan on a future vid card upgrade I might even suggest getting 500+.
Also, you dont have a optical drive listed. Look at Lite-on and get retail for free burning software. If you are going for 4 gigs of ram then you should use Vista 64. 32 bit OS only recognize a little over 3 gigs of ram. Two gigs is plenty for most tasks so if you are planning on XP or Vista 32 just get 2 gigs for now. Not sure what you are using the system for, but if it is gaming try to swing a 8800 GT in the budget. The 8600 series is a little weak for a true gamer. If you need to save a few bucks to get it I would downgrade to a E6750 CPU. It is actually faster than the Q6600 but not as future proof. Kat

Thanks for the feedback.
I've changed it up a bit on your suggestions. I'll be running windows XP pro and the programs I'm going to be needing to run are as follows. 1. chromablast the instructions says that the recommended hardware for this is a pentium 4-3.0GHz or Athlon XP 2500+Processor 1GB System Memory 2. The next progam we need is to run what is called a plotter, it requiers only windows and adobe to run it I think it is called GRAPHTEC Craft robo pro, it cuts vinal for heat transfer numbers and letters. 3. Lastly we are installing the program Corel Draw X3 Graphics Suite ASUS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model DRW-2014L1T - Retail Item #: N82E16827135156 Return Policy: Standard Return Policy Select An Optional Extended Warranty Plan 1 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $9.992 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $14.99 $39.99 COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail Item #: N82E16811119068 Return Policy: Standard Return Policy $49.99 Western Digital Caviar SE WD5000AAJS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Item #: N82E16822136178 Return Policy: Limited 30-Day Return Policy Select An Optional Extended Warranty Plan 1 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $14.992 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $19.99 $99.99 EVGA 512-P2-N773-AR GeForce 8600GTS 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail Item #: N82E16814130286 Return Policy: Limited 30-Day Return Policy Select An Optional Extended Warranty Plan 1 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $29.991 Year Service Net 1 Peripheral Extended Plan -- $39.992 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $39.992 Year Service Net 1 Peripheral Extended Plan -- $49.993 Year Service Net 1 Peripheral Extended Plan -- $59.99 -$20.00 Instant $20.00 Mail-in Rebate $179.99 $159.99 Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2SB ATX12V v2.2 500W Power Supply - Retail Item #: N82E16817182076 Return Policy: Standard Return Policy Select An Optional Extended Warranty Plan 1 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $14.992 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $19.99 -$15.00 Instant $20.00 Mail-in Rebate $59.99 $44.99 Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM Item #: N82E16835100007 Return Policy: Consumable Items Return Policy $5.99 G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL6D-4GBMQ - Retail Item #: N82E16820231112 Return Policy: Memory (Modules, USB) Return Policy Select An Optional Extended Warranty Plan 1 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $29.992 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $39.99 $109.99 ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Item #: N82E16813131025 Return Policy: Limited 30-Day Return Policy Select An Optional Extended Warranty Plan 1 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $29.992 Year Service Net Replacement Plan -- $39.99 $179.99 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80562Q6600 - Retail Item #: N82E16819115017 Return Policy: Processors (CPUs) Return Policy Rosewill RCX-Z3 92mm Ball CPU Cooler - Retail Item #: N82E16835200013 Return Policy: Standard Return Policy |

Just two things to swap. Go for the Asus P5K motherboard. It uses a newer chipset so you'll be better prepared for a future upgrade. Also, go with a different brand on the PSU. Rosewill's are rebadged units, so you never know what you get. This is a great choice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139003

I would change the ram to Corsair Value Select DDR2 667. Don't realy need the 800 speed ram for non-OC systems.

If you use the Asus P5K you will need to go with an ATI graphics card, methinks. Good luck
