Help me build my new system.

Hi,


I'm gonna be building my own putter in 2-3 weeks and this is what I though I'd get. I'm on a thin budget (have to pay for it myself 🙁) and I am looking for a nicely balanced, stable system that will be easy to build (its my first time, I'm a virgin 😉)

Anywhoo, here's what I have:

ASUS A7V133
Duron 700 pretested/unlocked @1GHz
Coolmaster HSF
256MB Crucial CAS2
Generic Mid Tower (4 5.25", 5 3.5&quot😉, 300W PS
Maxtor 40GB @7200rpm ATA100
Radeon 64MB ViVo retail

SB Live Value v2
ASUS 50x CDROM
Altec Lansing ACS56 speakers
Aopen 10mpbs NIC
Dlink 10/100 NIC
Generic floppy

MS Natural Keyboard Elite
Generic cordless or logitech opitical (still havent made up my mind)
Daytek 905DF 19" Flat Tube monitor


So would there be any incompatibility issues between these components? I don't plan to run raid and the whole thing will cost be about 1400 (2100 CDN). I want this to be easy to build, since like I said, it will be my first time building a putter from scratch (I've installed/upgraded every component on different computers, so I like to think that I have enough experience to attemp this).



if you have any comments, please tell me.

Thanks
 
Everything looks good. Except I would get an MSI board, makes no difference besides the price. And I've never heard of Daytek monitors, you sure Daytek is not an online stocks site? And the CD-ROM, I would probably get TEAC or Acer instead.
 
Daytek's been making monitors since 386 times. They are or moderate price and quality and the 905DF is the only affordable flat tube that I could find. Do you know any others?
 
Remind me, is the A7V the one with the 266 FSB? If it is, go with it because i hear asus's 266 FSB board is solid. If it is only 200 FSB then get the MSI
