i already got a 40gb ata drive, and a 80 gb ata drive, and a powersupply, but that powersupply is a 20 pin, and this mobo is a 24 pin. gonna stick with two gb of ram for now, upgrade later, mobo can take 16 gigs(haha boyea) already got software, vid card, and a case, so i think that might do it...anything you guys see wrong with it?

ummm...i don't mean to bust ur bubble but that mobo only has 2 slots so you'd have to upgrade to 2x8GB!!?!? wtf!? where would you get that? haha. anyways you might wanna look into something with 4 slots for RAM. that'd be fine if you stay w/ 2GB though. (i've never heard of the mobo though)
 
meh.. you chose alot of bad stuff

First off, you went for a high price PSU but its not even a very well known brand, get a better brand one like enermax or antec... heck even a aspire psu would do you better.

Second, That motherboard, why? I never heard good stuff of "PC Chips".. invest some more in a mobo thats really gonna work..

The ram, You wanna buy DDR 800 but you're getting cas# 5? that won't do you any good, get PC 5400 DDR 667 and get CAS 4 or 3.......... that would be muc hbetter..

cpu cooling, gigabyte is a BIG no! I bought one of their cpu coolers and its HORRIBLE.......! its NOISY and it doesn't do the work at all.

vga cooler, I don't know but it seems really... weak? o_O, get a VF700 or just stay with the stock cooler..

So heres what I suggest:

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130050

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145015

VGA Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118117

Processor cooling: Unsure... I'm not certain which of the major brands produce AM2 supporting CPU coolers..

Thats what I suggest anyhow.
