Well if you're buying the 630 of Newegg, it'll cost $168. You could buy a Pentium D 930 for and extra $23 at Zipzoomfly. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80851
Also, why not get some ram that runs at 667. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231050
$80

Thanks Iv'e changed memory to this

Memory - CORSAIR VALUE SELECT 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) System Memory

I might change processors to that also by the time I build, if I do.

I need some suggestions on which mobo to go with, and what heatsink // cpu fan.

Thanks Storm~
