So after years (yes years!) of waiting and hoping and money expectations falling short/being delayed (I won't go into the time that I bought a 42" Plasma TV when I finally had enough money) I finally have enough money for a budget build!
My Budget is $500 shipped to zip code 46845. I know it's not much, but right now, I'm gaming on an integrated graphics set on my laptop....or attempting to lol. I do not need a monitor, mouse, or keyboard....but I do need all the rest of the parts along with a flash drive and and cheap headset for gaming. I do plan to OC this sucker as well.
Here is what I'm thinking, but correct me if I am wrong:
LG DVD Burner: Newegg.com - LG Black 22X (CAV) DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD+R DL 22X (CAV) DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 22X DVD±R DVD Burner - CD / DVD Burners
Antec 300 Case: Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
WD 250 GB HDD: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar RE WD2500YD 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
ATI Radeon HD 4670: Newegg.com - MSI R4670-2D512 Radeon HD 4670 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Antec earthwatts 500W PSU: Newegg.com - Antec earthwatts EA500 500W ATX12V v2.0 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
OCZ Platinum 2x1Gb DDR2 1066 Ram: Newegg.com - OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
BioStar TForce P43 Mobo:Newegg.com - BIOSTAR TForce TP43D2A7 LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Rosewill Headset: Newegg.com - Rosewill RH-001 3.5mm Circumaural Multimedia Stereo Headset
Right now is $514.27 shipped. Any way I can scrape off the $15? I know it seems petty, but already stretching the budget a little as a college student...
Should I get the extra case fans? or will the fans that come with the Antec 300 be enough (at least for now)?
Anything I forgot?
EDIT: Would this be better ram? Slower speeds, but tighter timings...
