New PC, what do you think?
 

Heres my new PC parts I'm going to order all from New Egg. I just wanna make sure these all work correctly together so thats why I am posting it.

ASUS P4S800 Socket 478 SIS 648FX ATX Intel Motherboard - $56.00
Intel Pentium 3.0GHz Prescott 800MHz FSB Socket 478 Processor - $182.49
OCZ Peroformance 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC3200) - $119.93
SAMSUNG SpinPoint 40GB 7200RPM Hard Drive IDE Ultra ATA133 - $51.50
Rosewill ATI Radeon 9600SE 128MB 64-bit - own it
ASUS Silver IDE 16x DVD-ROM/48x CD-ROM Drive - $27.00
Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 - OEM - $145.95
JUST PC White Steel ATX Mid-tower with 450W Power Supply - $36.49

Total - $619.36

Will this all work correctly? Also, my motherboard supports PATA ATA 133 Devices. Does that mean I can only buy hard drives that are ATA 133?

I think normal hdds will work just fine with you mobo. Everything else looks ok. Have fun with your new PC!

I would get a better video card if you wanna run the newest games really well but that card will do. Personally, i woudl get a better case and a much better PSU, usually you shouldnt try getting a power supply that comes with your case. Other then that, a 40 gb HDD will do fine if you dont need to store a lot of stuff but hard drives are so cheap, i would recommend getting a 120 or160 gb model just incase you need it.

Looks good, but I'd get a new video card and maybe a bigger hard drive.

Re: New PC, what do you think?
 

I would almost reccomend a different mobo. At least a socket 775, but with what you have now, seems quite the setup, and all in all it is your choice.

A better video card could help but what you have aready isn't horrid.

And I wouldn't feel right if I didn't atleast recommend giving linux a try. ;)

Looks good except for the video card, i would pick up a Nvidia Geforce 6600GT to top it all off, you can get them for around $160.

This computer is probably gonna be my gaming machine until around December, then i'm going with a PCI-Express computer thats gonna be around $2000. So that's why this computer I'm building now has cheap stuff in it. Hopefully it will satisfy my gaming until i get the nasty PC. Thanks for the help everyone.

No problem. All in all system things are your choice. ;)
