Been a while, Need Suggestions!

Hi, My name is Dave

Its been quite a while since I built my last computer, I would appreciate your suggestions on my build mates! I've done some research already but would like to hear a second opinion. I am attempting to build a low budget gaming computer (~700)

Case
COOLER MASTER Centurion 541 RC-541-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel, SECC chassis MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119088

PSU
Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU ATX 12V 2.0 500W Power Supply - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153052

Proc.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80557E6550 - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115030

Mobo
EVGA 112-CK-NF75-K1 LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7100 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188022

Ram
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400 - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145590

VideoCard
SAPPHIRE 100226L Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102715

HD
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148262

Drive
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black SATA Model LH-20A1S - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106057

My main concerns are:
That the long video card fits in the micro atx case.
That PCIx2.0 is compatible with the x16 on mobo.
Quality of mobo and compatibility with cpu. (very little reviews on the mobo)

Thanks mate, any other suggestions would be appreciated!

Not sure if it will fit in that case.

Also, I think for $10 more, you can get a e6750.

Other then that, it looks good.

I assume you have monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers.

Don't forget an OS.
