If you don't mind :P

Nope.

Get a 650i or 680i motherboard.

Swap to an Intel Core 2 Duo

Swap the 8800GT for either an EVGA or XFX 8800GT, they give lifetime warranty. I don't think Asus do.

That RAM is WAAAAAAY overpriced. Also PC8500 is just double the cost for 3% performance boost. Stick to PC6400. I recommend Corsair XMS2.

k thanks, thanks especialy for the pics, i aint ordered it yet, i appreciate all of yall's help, if yall have any other tips for me, please tell: this my new item list-

680i is the chipset (nVidia) for the motherboard. It is recommended to get an nVidia chipset instead of an intel one as they perform better.

so is the 1 i chose gonna work ? and are all of those parts compatable? i don't wanna get something and have to return it or anything

Looks fine apart from the graphics card. You chose a completely different one. XFX or EVGA 8800GT 512mb is fine.

Also why are you posting with two different accounts? You do realise that's against the rules.

OP is quint5, yet first post with order picture is by Liselotte.

Unless Liselotte can see his order or something. In which case, my bad :P

I can see his newegg page so i posted it here :)

Actually though, I have another 2 accounts, but I rarely use it anyway. But this one is not mine.

I think you just need a newegg account to be able to see it.

In that case, I do apologise :P
