Welcome to PCMech.
My only suggestion for your 'to buy' stuff is to swap for a SATA DVD drive. How about a DVD Burner? Do you have a video card?

why get that processor when you can spend 15-20 bucks for for an e6750 with a fsb of 1333 and a higher clock speed?

I haven't look into video cards much yet... My plan is to hook my pc up to my hdtv, it is a 42" westenhouse - it has a vga input. Will i need a highend card for this?

Thanks for all your help.
One last question... is all this hardware compatible with Linux? I don't want to drop over 100 bucks for vista |
