I've been trying to assemble a computer, and I think that I finally have one, will it run?

It comes to 690$ total. including shipping.

Just want to know if it'll work, and if everything fits together.

everything looks pretty good.
i would suggest a motherboard with a little better reputation. this asus is only 15 dollars more and is probably a world better:
Newegg.ca - ASUS M3A78 Pro AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

this ram has a better command rate and stock timings than the ram you have selected. its also cheaper and has a 25 dollar rebate. i'd go with it.
Newegg.ca - OCZ SLI-Ready 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
 
I would change the cpu to a Intel e5200, it's faster, runs cooler, uses less power, and a better overclocker than the 6000+. I would get a Biostar TP45HP motherboard to go with it.

Newegg.ca - Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Newegg.ca - BIOSTAR TForce TP45HP LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

either that or get a 65 watt cpu
like a 5000+ series. their better for overclocking and stay cool.

my 5400 black edition is running stable at a safe 3.255 at 38C load

and get a reputable motherboard. i would get a abit or asus, but theres many out there with a great reputation

Newegg.ca - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Brisbane 2.8GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core black edition Processor - Processors - Desktops

Looks like a decently solid build...my opinions on the parts have already been mentioned; like the ASUS board, always a good choice.

By the way, I love how your case is the most expensive part of the computer, haha. :p Nice.
 
Well with the build he is making, I think the AMD cpu will suit his needs. It doesn't seem like he's going for anything stellar. I think he did a pretty good job of picking out his parts.

Definitely consider getting a motherboard with a better reputation, this can make your life much easier in the long run and remove a lot of headaches.
