Default building a new comp

Ok this is my first attempt at building a computer....I was going to just upgrade my old tower but i then decided to just buy a whole new system. I only have $600 to spend and this is what i came up with (I know its not going to be the best of systems but better than what i had) I already have a Hard drive and Disk drives.

Sunbeam Transformer IC-TR-US-BK Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply - Retail $89.99

BIOSTAR TForce TF570SLI Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $87.99

XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail $139.99

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADX6000CZBOX - Retail $169.99

A-DATA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model ADQVE1A16K - Retail $79.99

with shipping from newegg it comes out to be $594.xx so I dont have much room to work with...so if someone could tell me if this will all work together, or has another suggestion for a better comp for under 600 I would greatly appreciate it. (I might be able to spend like 20-30 more if i have to)

Give this a full day per bump.

Yes, all the parts work.

As for ram: Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
Even if you are not overclock, this has lower timings.

Ooh, peter is suggesting Crucial Ballistix! This is something new. :laughing:

Yes, everything is fine, just the RAM.

I recommend E6550 because it overclocks better and consume much less power that this power-hungry processor called 6000+

Processor
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

Motherboard ($82 after MIR)
Newegg.com - MSI P35 Neo-F LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

MSI 8800GTS ($138 after MIR)
Newegg.com - MSI NX8600GTS-T2D256EZ HD GeForce 8600GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Ram ($76 after MIR)
Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
