Thanks for showing those.  This will give me an idea of how much I could need.  Do you know of any other website besides newegg to search parts.  Thats the only one I know of. 

That Motherboard and Processor will never work together.
Also get a 7200rpm hard drive, even for storage, instead of a 5400rpm drive.
A 7200rpm drive can finish it's work and go to sleep much sooner which can actually save you on power if you access it frequently.

I would also ditch that PSU and grab an Antec Neo Eco(If you are on a budget)/Corsair/Enermax/Seasonic instead.

Those aren't the parts I'm gonna get.  I think he just showed them to give me an idea of the cost of some of the stuff.  But, any info will help.
