Have you budgeted for an OS Adoski?
What would you want to use?
Windows 7 is due out by the end of the month. Are you going to run 32 bit or go for 64?
With the 32 bit version the upgrade path for your RAM stops at 4Gb whereas 64bit will take whatever you could sensibly throw at it.
Are you a starving student? Going by your price range I wouldn't be too surprised..
You might qualify for the
student discount for win 7 that's supposed to be coming for Aus.
If you get the pro version it comes with XP compatibility mode that's basically a copy of XP running in a virtual machine. It costs a fair bit more but will let you run games that win 7 doesn't like. Just a thought.
Of course, as you're building a system from scratch I assume you'd qualify for the OEM version. Check with your supplier for pricing.
Off the top of my head I'd say the PSU is a bit on the light side.
I'm not much chop on system building so see what others say.
edit: added link.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
Ask questions. There's no such thing as a stupid one, just stupid answers. (mostly)
