After much looking and trying to do my best this is what I'm thinking of buying.I plan on upgrading cpu 6 months or so as the high end ones now drop in price.Think this board will last awhile cpu can go to the fx if i understand right.I have up to 700 to spend but will wait on video card for a few weeks and try to spend up to $250 for a video card at that time.Any suggestions on these parts or know abetter deal?This is all from newegg who also seems to have decent shipping prices.$37 to ship all this.

Not bad. But are you planning on PCIe or AGP for GFX Card. I would also suggest a better motherboard.
 
The case I am using is micro-atx.Plus also i would like somthing with video so i can use the rig for a few weeks while i save for nice video card.
 
for your hard drive, for $4 more, you can get a SATA-2 western digital with same capacity.
 
I dont know much about sata but one time i installed on friends and had trouble cause of sata drivers for windows.Was fresh install.Had to instal a floppy drive to get it to work.But if it is better i would go for it.

I took out the fan didnt realize the cpu came with one

Ok i think this is the hd you are talking about .I agree it is better after reading specs.
