Ok here is what I am getting : Motherboard & CPU Combo B - With Intel Pentium 4 Processor - 800MHz FSB
Warranty - 1 Year
Intel P4 3.0GHz Socket 478 512k (800MHz)
512MB PC3200 DDR (Atlas Precision)
Pretest Motherboard & CPU - Install Fan & Set CPU
none
2 System Case Fans
Artic Silver Thermal Compound
420 Watt ATX Power Supply (P4 / AMD Certified)
MSI 865PE-NEO2-LS - INTEL 865PE w/ Serial ATA
Thermaltake - P4 Spark 7 +


WD 100 GB 7200 RPM ATA 100 HARD DRIVE

Alto Black ATX computer case

Nvidia Geforce FX5600XT 256MB W/Tv out/DVI 8x AGP Video Card

Will all of these things be compatible with each other and will the mobo fit in the case I picked? Am I missing anything? I already have monitor,keyboard,mouse,soundcard,speakers,and cables?

Would This case be good and work with the motherboard I am getting?

this is a bad case. my mid tower has 4 hidden 3.5 bays and 2 showing. this one only has 2 hidden. and it only has 1 80mm fan hole in the back. i wouldn't recommend it.

y get the 5600xt 256mb? spending more on 256mb is a waste of money...go for a better card w/ 128mb of memory...most games out dont even use 128mb yet.

and if u decide to get a 5600xt, make sure u pick one w/ 128bit memory bus and not teh 64bit one.

I seriously recoommend Aria as a first point of call for all your needs. The prices are pretty good too. Been using them for years, and if you're not sure on a particular item, read the customer reviews. There's normally some on all products.

Thanks. But I prefer a U.S website because of the fact that I live in the U.S. But thanks anyways. Does anybody recommend a good case for this system? Are all the parts I listed aboce compatible with each other?
