Ok, lot's wrong with that list there...hmm where to start....well you need to do some more research..ie in these forums.

Your video card and processor are fine and that case if you like it. But i would pretty much replace everything else with better stuff.

Motherboard is no good:
Get DFI, MSI, ASUS

Get an ACER or ViewSonic monitor

Hard drive is old - get a new generation

Memory is no good OCZ and Corsair are good

That powersupply CANNOT HANDLE that load, its crap.
Get an Antec Truepower series or the OCZ powerstream if you have the $$$. The modstream isn't as good.

Speaker system is a waste. You are better off with a Logitech 2.1 system like the Z-3.

(The case is OK, but you are better of with a case like the thermaltake Saprano.)

Video really isn't any good either since it's an XFX. You should probably switch to eVGA, Leadtek, or someone else with a better reputation.

 

[GuitarFreak1857]

if you want good 2.1 speakers, and are willing to spend, klipsch has a nice 2.1 pair on newegg.

what's your budget btw?

 

[Aussie33]

Hey thanks for all the response, I'll get some better memory, a power supply, and better mobo.

 

[Aussie33]

Ok from what I've read here and what you guys have helped me with I have a revised computer build. I changed most the parts, im still not sure what MOBO to use. I couldn't find any DFI compatible with ATI. I was origanally going to use GeForce because of SLI but from what I've read it's not worth it. Radeon and GeForce looked about the same to me. For the video card I don't want to spend over $250. And like I said earlier I don't know what to do about the MOBO.

Make sure you get a sata hard drive not ide, better performance:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144178

Trust me on this, get a 19" Lcd, The monitor is the most important thing IMO:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009067

Get a bigger PSU than that (couple bucks more):
