I like everything but the motherboard and the video card is ok.

You didn't really give us much information such as if you are going to overclock, because chaintech is not known for any overclocking really.

As far as the video card if you can get an x800xl or the 6800GT would be a better choice for lasting longer then the 6600GT, but if you are on a strick budget, it looks good.

If you are not overclocking, everything is good.

hmm thanks for your input, plan to run the system non-overclocked for now.. but sometime in the future, yes, i want to overclock.. nothing extreme, maybe push it to 2.4-2.5ghz or so. the chaintech does provide ability for overclocking.. and there is nothing wrong with running a 166 divider right?
been checking out these forums:

also, i know those cards u mentioned will last longer.. spending 100 dollars more better last longer.. hehe. yeah im on a budget.

I like that board for a budget system. Not a great OC'er, but will give you some.
Everything looks good to me.
What PSU are you using?

for now im gonna try out a 600W PSU that my bro has.. dont know what brand it is though. i heard that 20 pin can work fine on this board.. if there are problems i'll get the 24 pin antec smartpower 2.0 500w power supply. seems to have good reviews.
