Total: ~ $516

Is it better now? They all work together?

Is there a better case and PSU deal that's $100 or less with at least 500W and reliable?

Also I want to get Windows 7 so is it better to buy a Vista OEM with Windows 7 coupon? 32-bit or 64-bit? Or should I wait? (Need to get 3 Windows 7 for 3 PCs) I heard about the Windows 7 family pack, but I only have XP Home Editions =/
 
If you don't care about flashy looks then go with these two.

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Centurion 541 RC-541-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel, SECC chassis MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Newegg.com - Rosewill RP550-2 550W ATX12V v2.01 Power Supply - Power Supplies

The case is an excellent case, and the PSU is rock solid with acceptable quality. Much higher than any case PSU you are going to find. If you want a little bit of looks then look around for a different case but the one I recommended is excellent. Case comes with free shipping too, which iss why I chose that model of Cooler Master for you
 
Ah! I kind of wanted a case with a side and fans. The PSU looks good. I just don't see a warranty on it =/
 
nice catch! That must've been what baron noticed too...
to the OP: the ram baron5 linked you to in his first post will do you fine, technically your board can support a little higher, but they should do you fine. If you've only hit $516 out of your budget so far, then I'd look for a pair with slightly higher specs, maybe some tighter timings.
 
Lol. Didn't notice the fast replies before I edited my post.

Better graphics?

So I should be getting some DDR2s and not DDR3s that are duals?
