Heres what i recommend.

1.2ghz t-bird (your choice on speed not changing that)
EPOX 8k7a (AWESOME MOBO)
Acoustic Edge sound card (or santa cruz)
256mb crucial ram ddr 2100 (512 if u can afford it)
CardExpert / Gainward GeForce 3 64MB
IBM 40GB 7200RPM #IC35L040AVER07

most that stuff can be bought from newegg.com

i think your system looks fine, any upgrades from that arent needed (512 ram wouldnt hurt at these prices), but you dont NEED to get a better soundcard or a different mobo, that mobo is fine

happygilmore - great film

Anyway, I would say your proposed specs look fine. The motherboard is not the "best" but it is by no means poor, I used to have one, and it's great and stable.
