I'm gonna be getting a new computer pretty soon so I wanted some input on this build. I don't have alot of money so I really don't need the whole "get this $300 thing that does the same thing as the $50 thing but its a (instert computer lingo here) so its better" I want to know that if I got this, it would go together and work and I wouldn't have to send it back because I got things incompatable with each other.

Thanks.

But will it work, I dont want to get all this stuff and have it lying around because its incompatable.

You already got an answer from James on this, but for future reference, here are the things you want to look for in determining whether a build is good:

1) Will the mobo fit in the case you've chosen?
2) Does your case have enough bays for the drives you want?
3) Does the mobo support your chosen processor and RAM?
4) Does the mobo have enough PCI slots for the cards you want? (And ISA slots, if applicable).
5) If you're getting an AGP video card, does the mobo have an AGP slot?

Am I forgetting anything, guys? I think this is about it for a basic computer.
