HERE'S THE SPEC ON EVERYTHING i'M GOING TO GET . After getting some advise from people on this site I think its what I'm going for, but I'm still not sure if the case is a good one. I'm really trying to keep my budget under $400.00. Basically what I'm doing is upgrading the computer I have with a new Mob,cpu, video card, case, and memory. heres my specs tell me what you think.

1)40 gig maxtor hard drive(already have in computer)
2)abit "IS7-E I865pe" chipset socket 478( 533, 800fsb)
3)pentium 2.4 or 2.8 ghz (800fsb)
4)powercolor ati radeon 9600 pro 128mb video card( we're not big gamers but we like to play some, {need for speed}, {tony hawk}
5)512 mb memory from corsair

I'd get the Abit IS7, -E stands for Economy (reduced features).

Stay away from PowerColor for the AGP card. Go with Either Saphire or BBA.

Yeah, I second that one, PowerColor has a horrible reputation, stay as far away from them as possible.
