My first build....

[UGHQ_SO_F1N3ST]

This is my first build, it is for gaming. Tell me if you see anything that i should change/add. I put Pentium 4 with HT because i dont know if a dual core will be better. And how hard is it to install a processor? Thats the only thing i dont know how to do.

110$ Video Card- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102668 Good core clock good RAM Clock

48$ Hard Drive- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144102 80GB

89$ Case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129012 Cool Case And 380WPSU

93$ RAM 1GB-Pqi 2x512- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820141200 2x512mb DDR2 Dual Channel

106$ Processor- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116231 Pentium 4 3.2Ghz With HT

86$ Motherboard- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128317 Motherboard With PCI-e PCI and correct RAM support

I have a DVD RW drive, so i dont need that. And if you do suggest an upgrade, try and stay in the general price margin of the product you are changing.
