Raidmax is not a recommended power supply. What are you going to be using for a video card, if any? What are you going to use for ram? Why are you getting an OEM processor instead of a retail boxed processor with heatsink?

Go to support.asus.com, choose Support, then CPU Support. Enter the motherboard model and you will get a list of all compatible processors.

Please list the the 9-10 basic parts (and the monitor, keyboard or mouse if you wish) and we can give you a better answer to your question.

That is a great motherboard. I just bought 60 of them for the Christmas season. I highly recommend it for sure.

I apologize for not being specific. Heres what i have now.

atx mid tower
400 watt btx p.o.s ps
3.2 pentium 4
2gb ddr2
asus leonite compaq mobo
80gb seagate, 160gb western digital HD's.

As you can see, i basically have a junk pc built out of spare parts i found/bought.
Im a 17 year old who just got his first job about 2 months ago, so now i can actually afford to build a decent pc. I wont be doing any extreme gaming, maybe some MW2, but thats it. Im more into the aesthetics look of a nicely lit modded pc.
As far as video cards go, i would appreciate any suggestions between $50-$100.

The best video card under $100 is a Radeon 5670.
