when i hook everything up in my case and turn it on will this all work to gether?

also what is the hardest part of building a computer?

and on a scale of one to ten how hard is it to load windows on a new comp? ten being the hardest. is windows home edition ok for gaming?
 
i suggest youll change the graphic card to 7600gt its better and costs just a little bit more http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130283 see this comparison http://www.beyond3d.com/previews/nvidia/g73/ , the psu is very good but if you want a psu with 3yr warranty change to antec truepower ii 430w or alternativly get this antec case that comes with an antec smartpower 450w psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129155 , do you really need 2gb of ram? , the X2 4200 costs only 60$ more might wanna get it instead of the 3800 , 80gb isnt much these days i suggest youll get at least 160gb , you might need a floppy drive for sata driver install in winxp setup. maybe nforce4 supports sata compatbility mode so no driver install will be needed but im not sure about that better get one just incase

very easy see these guides

http://www.tweakhound.com/xp/installxp/installXP1.htm yeah its very good for gaming
 
good choice on the cpu, but if you're gonna be OCing then i suggest an opteron 165. the video card looks good too, it will play everything out there on med high settings. - charlie
 
ok but i cant realy afford that much more the reason i hve 2 gigs is for battle field i heard it works best with two gigs
