Smile My first Build

Alright everyone I m a noob here and I just needed a second look over and guidance from others before I actually went ahead and ordered my parts.

Here is the link

Just wondering if any of my parts are non-compatible with my Motherboard, I m open to tips and suggestions because I m a first timer and really would appreciate it.

*Edit

No one showed me that my video card was DDR3 while my mother board memory was DDR2.

Alright I decided to cut out the CPU fan because as I just noticed the CPU I have already comes with its own fan and I m just going to stick with that one. Cut back and got a video card thats like 5$'s cheaper so I could still afford the thermal grease. Did my best to stay under 600$'s and I think I did a great job lol. Here's my new build with a better mother board.

looks good, some of those parts are what I'm getting as the successor to this rig, but only problem I have with that build is the stock Case PSU

A lot of people keep telling me to get cheaper ram and a cheaper mobo. So that I can afford a PSU to go along with my new system. But see I've been running Windows Vista on a E-Machines T3612 with 512 ram for the last 4 to 5 months. So getting at least 4 gigs of Ram is a must for me. Planning on getting a better PSU some time down the line (probably a few months). So by then prices will drop a bit lower (not that they're high now), but since I m building on a budget I don't have enough money to get another PSU at the moment. Besides that I still have to buy an LCD Wide Screen monitor, mouse, and keyboard all for under 200$. If you really think about it, my system will be a bad *** rig for what its meant to do and that is to satisfy my casual gaming hunger.

Just understand that one bad PSU, can take the whole system with it....

Can you afford $10 for a PSU?
