lol....
U know that PCI-eXpress is better than AGP.... if u r getting brand new comp. u need to get PCI-eXpress cause they arent making much more Graphics cards in agp form anymore.

I would myself get a 19 inch Screen

I would think that ur ram is good
(no matter what everyone else says... there all the same, cause i promise someone is going to say that u need better ram ;))

The processor is DECENT... i wouldnt consider it average on a gaming comp. but its aight

The graphics card is good.... but needs to be PCI-Express and so does the motherboard.

Speakers........ arent kickass.... they are low grade.
They are good for games.. but music.. ahh der horrible:p
I would suggest getting a sound card for anyspeakers that cost more than $100 USD

I wouldnt use the power supply that comes with ur case...
*besides antec*
Get a good powersupply with above 400 wats and a GOOD BRAND

The case will always dillever the same cooling as far as the structure goes, but u will probably need to get more fans. (in my opinion)

Dont forget about getting a good keyboard and mouse. Espically if ur gaming.

I cant really look at teh harddrive cause neweggs page is currently unavailable. but i would suggest about 160Gb in total space (minimum)
 
everyone has failed to mention that the processor and the motherboard are not compatible. for board go with a MSI K8n neo4-f.

THe ram ur getting right now is not so good temperature wise. most new ram have this metallic cover that dissipates the heat err something or other. Either buy from G.Skill, OCZ, Crucial or Corsair, or Patriot.

this is the video card you want.

same price, but its PCIe, and its better.
 
I'm getting those same speakers after I get a new video card.

My friend's sister has a set, they kickass.

EDIT: That RAM is also not compatible with your motherboard. The motherboard supports 184-pin DDR, you chose 240-pin DDR2.
 
Ok..WOW...Im an idiot...

So anyways, I took your advice and seeing how i was wrong last time how about these changes?

Sound Card

Keyboard

Mouse

I changed my video card to the one recommended, same with the optical drive...So corrections with this setup would be greatly appreciated.
 
ite your case is cool

but you might want to consider upgrading it in the future

aspire psu's are that strong
