Looks good except for two things; you are missing a hard drive and the video card is not compatible with the motherboard (the motherboard only supports PCIe, not the older AGP); something like this is better performance wise and costs about the same: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131155
Regarding a hard drive, if you don't already have, something like this will work well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136283 Also make sure you get an OS if you don't already have one.

I have revised my part list a little. Is this build good enough to run Windows 7?
I also plan on overclocking later, so can this motherboard do it?

Finallizing my specs
I have finally figure out what to get because money is an issue. So I had to downgrade my specs a bit. This is my first time building a pc and my 7 years old Dell pentium4 really gotta go. I’m building this pc for use with Autodesk Maya 2010, and playing games such as Left4Dead2, Crysis, CoD Modern Warfare 2, and so on. I might run Vista Ultimate 32bit, but might upgrade to Windows7 64bit. I’m looking to upgrade the cpu, ram, video card as needed. As far as I understand, overclocking this pc would be easy. Is there anything else I have to change or add? My budget is around $600-$650, and with MIR, it would be around $620. Sorry for the confusion and appreciate anybody that would help.

Yea, after reading a lot of reviews about the case on newegg, I decided to find something easier and cheaper. But I'm curious whether an acrylic case like that would have static discharge, since the static is not going anywhere else?
