Hi,

Okay, after going over many different reviews and advice, I've finally come out with my desired build, which will come out to just about 1450$CND with taxes and shipping. I would like one final review of my system before I open my wallet.. just to see if everything's compatible and decent.

Here it is.

All good except Vista, don't waste your time or money, stick with XP Pro. You can also lose the Sound Blaster, the mobo has good onboard sound.

They're compatible & good.

I'd get crucial ballistix ram instead if available.

All nice. Maybe get DDR2-800 instead of DDR2-667, but it's not very important.
