Is this a decent build? What kind of memory should I get I have $100-$200 to spend on memory.
What kind of PSU will I want (I want to upgrade my graphics card to an 8800 GTS later on but never will I go SLI or Crossfire.)
Does the case I get really matter? I have $75 to spend on a case I want it to show the tempature inside
Do I need any cooling accessories or is the system stable?
I want a hard drive with a minimum of 120 GB, I have $100 to spend on this. (I'd perfer 10,000 RPM with 16MB cache and 120 GB space.)

Thanks - Connor (also note this is for gaming. like CS:S, BF2, COD2)

If you haven't already bought the mobo, I'd suggest a 680 chipset one. It leaves the Intel offerings in the dust. This is the only one tigerdirect.ca carries, though:

As for RAM, go with a stick of 1 gig, and add another one later.

With your case, remember that most PSUs that come with a case are pure crap.

As for cooling, your case fans will have a lot to do with it.

For $100, you ain't getting a 10K drive. Look for a SATA2 drive w/16MB cache. Go with WD or Seagate.

If it's for gaming, you're gunna want a better video card....

You might want to check out http://www.ncix.com . They have much better prices and faster service than tigerdirect. I have corporate accounts with both if you need some credibility from me.

You should also think of bringing that video card up to a 7900. it will last a little longer than a 7600 further down the road. In the long run it might save you a bit.
