if the computer you're building is the one in your specs, then... personally, I'd get at least 512mb of ram - corsair, kingston... ohh yeah, and get rid of the pentium =p other than that, you're good to go lol

could someone tell me how much i should be paying for each of these parts, and for 512MB of ram i dont really know about ram so can someone tell me the best brands. ohh yea and can the prices be in AU$

www.gamedude.com.au is the cheapest prices ive seen
so if u add it up that would probably be your minimum cost i guess

For more explaination on the various hardware available now, you can try http://www.ocarena.com

and yes, you should get at least 512MB RAM.
Do you intend to overclock? there are a few more hardware considerations if you want to. look out for your RAM speed ie ddr400 / ddr433 / etc and you will want to get a 3rd party heatsink fan as well.

www.umart.com.au has better prices and is a much better site to navigate i bought my stuff off them 2weeks ago and so far everything is sweet

EDIT: i just relaised gamedude had a makeover ohwell umart is still cheaper!!
