hello

So I am going to get a budget gaming rig and I plan to build it myself. My parents are going
The budget is 6xx without monitor speakers keyboard or mousebut WITH an operating system. i know its a really low budget but i have no income and this is a birthday/christmas present from my parents. heres what i got so far.

all from newegg.com
Case
ATRIX CSCI-G8022C-C43 Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window - Retail

its cheap, seems sturdy has glowing reviews and i will replace the power supply.

55.00

Power Supply
FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN 450W Power Supply - Retail

recommended by killerjks

49.99

Mobo
CHAINTECH VNF4/Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

im not sure about this one. has good reviews but i need some guidance on this aspect.

73.00

Video Card
Leadtek Geforce 6600 PX6600TD-256 Video Card - Retail

It is mid range and is in my price range. The radeon x800gt was a little to expensive for me.

117.00

RAM
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail

One gig of value ram should do the job for me.

79.06

processor
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor - Retail

This processor has awesome reviews and is recommended by alot of people for a value rig so i thought it should go with this.

139

Windows xp home edition w sp 2
91

HD
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA NCQ 3.5" Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM

is in my price range and seems like a winner

83

total 688.00

im a total newb to this computer building thing, so can you guys check over this and make sure it all works together? please leave suggestions on parts and recommend different ones if any of these totally suck.
and remember im going for value.

thanks!
