dude, link 2 4 and 7 all link to the CPU.

What is your usage?

You also need a power supply, unless you already have one

Ram is good, so is optical drive. However, I would suggest moving to this case:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129024

The Antec Sonata III comes with a very solid PSU that will last you and be a lot better than that Rosewill. It is a little more, but having a motherboard fry from a low quality PSU is not worth the price. Also, if you can, get this hard drive instead:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136320

The Western Digital Black is a much better and faster hard drive.

You say you're on a budget, but never mentioned what that budget was?

Is this just a basic use build?

The case is not compatable with my micro atx mb but i will strongly consider the HDD

Read this thread: New Build..Are these compatible?

For an intel build:
MB: Asus P5kpl-cm: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131288
CPU: E5200: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116072
Ram: 2x2gb ddr2-800: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231122
HD: WD 500gb black sata: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136320
PSU/Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811153089
OS: vista HP 64: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116488

That comes to about $350 without the case/psu combo. So about $400 total before shipping and rebates.

The antec sonata III will fit your original MB and the mb i picked as well.

Rosewill cases are decent, but the quality of the power supply is bad, get a Rosewill case such as this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147095 and an inexpensive Antec PSU like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371013

No. That case comes with a not so good power supply.

The combo I linked to might come back in, or you could look for that combo on a different site.

This one looks ok as well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119118

I believe others have recommended that combo for basic builds before.

Seems that the PSU in the CM combo is ATX v1.3, not the best solution for a new computer, a good PSU with ATX v2.0 or higher would be a better idea.

Ah. Didn't see that review. Just looked at specs.

If that's the case, then this wouldn't be a good option.

Of course. 32 bit will work fine as well.

Just be aware, you might not see all 4gb of ram.

mATX motherboard will fit in either ATX or mATX cases. ATX motherboards will fit into ATX cases but not mATX cases.

The MATX MOBO will fit into any ATX case. I'm not real fond of Rosewill cases but any of those you have linked to will accept the MOBO you have chosen.

That motherboard will fit fine in that case.

I actually used that case in one of my builds with a matx mb. It was fine.
