for the computer I am building?

Motherboard Asus p4p800-most likely deluxe but I might just get the VM
CPU Intel 2.4c
Case Power Magic with 2 fans LINK
Hard Drive Maxtor 160gb
Cd-rw Taking one from old computer
Video Card Radeon 9500 pro
Memory not sure about this


I do not know anything about overclocking but I might want to try it one day. I will be using this computer for internet, games, movies and all the other kinda daily things. the case I have picked out claims to have front panel usb. I will am wanting front and atleast 2 in the back. Is there any way to add any to the back? I do not care for the spider web look of the case but for around 41 with 400w and two fans seems like a good deal to me. Can anyone help me on the memory and tell me if this will work right? I am trying to keep the cost down so...

this will also be my first time to build one. Are they to hard to build, will I have to order anything else?

If you want to keep the cost down, go AMD Barton 2800+ is the same price as that 2.4c).
Memory: Some nice (Corsair XMS or Kingston HyperX) DDR 400 (PC3200) for a P4 C. Probably should go with 2 512MB sticks.
Case and fans:
Black Evercase E4252
or go for a better PSU:
Black Evercase e4252 w/o PSU
and
Fortron 350w PSU
You shouldn't need additonal fans. One exhaust will do fine with otherwise good airflow, and you may even want to 7v that one.
