recommendations for cheap but preforming build

ok this is what ive got for this build,

HEC 6C28BSX585 Black / Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case With 585W Power Supply

LITE-ON Black 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DH-16D3P-08

Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 Wolfdale 2.66GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Foxconn G33M LGA 775 Intel G33 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

PNY XLR8 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

Nvidia Geforce 9800GT 512MB (already have)

Segate 80GB HDD (already have)

Dell 19" Flat Panel LCD (already have)

i think all these things are compatable and it will only cost about $400 thats with the shipping method i use (next day) so if anyone could review this and let me know if anything wont work, its greatly appreciated. all parts from newegg.com

Why get that G33 with integrated graphics when you are going to add a GPU? You can get a P31/35/43/45 at about the same price or cheaper that would be better. Your legacy HD is probably IDE, but you can still use a SATA burner. Great price on the HEC(Compucase) but i wouldn't recommend a HEC power supply to anyone.

The list is I made is of parts all straight from newegg. All the parts come in seperate, so you have to build the system yourself. All I did was make a selection of quality parts that would make a great build. If I where you I would get the e5200 instead of the e8200, especially if you plan to overclock and save some cash. Next, stay away from foxconn, it is not worth the crap they put on it. Also +1 to dirtmountain about the G33. Finally, If I where you I would get a decent "name brand" powersupply for your system, even if it costs a little extra. I would reccomend corsair for the PSU and the coolermaster centurion 5 as the case. Both are cheap and reliable.

ok so maybe a different cpu and a better psu, that is do-able. ill look into a diff mobo i guess but i think that one will do fine. still any other reccommendations are welcome. ill be buying over the next 2 months so i got a while

A recommendation. As you buy the parts over the next 2 months keep an eye out for neweggs combo deals. Right now there's a great combo deal for a Asus P45 P5Q pro that would actually drop the price of it below the P35 DS3L motherboard when paired with the E8400 (-$35)

If you have the time to shop around at newegg you can often find other deals that might save you good money over a 2 months span.

ok shortstuff ill check it out. i have OEM 32-bit vista home premium disk that i got with my XPS 630i, will that disk work/install on another PC? if not i have a retail 32-bit vista home basic disk that i could install until i can afford to upgrade. so ill be running 32-bit vista one way or another.

I would not touch this case: HEC 6C28BSX585 Black / Silver Steel ATX Mid

Poor Cooling and it ships with a PSU you need to replace with a more reliable one.

ok i think this is THE revision:

HEC 6C28BSX585 Black / Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 585W Power Supply

GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard

SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model SH-S223Q

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400

OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2N10662GK

Dell 19" LCD Digital Flat Panel (owned)

this looks to be a good budget gaming rig. i couldve gotten to this if i wouldve spent more time searching, thanks to all tha t helped and suggested parts. the total will be about $411 with next day shipping (unless i have to pay seperat shipping on the parts, i dont think if i order all at once i should have seperate shippin but IDK) so rate this rig please!

I think this is the time when someone finds and posts the link to the video when Corsair tries out 6 cheap PSU's (much like this one) and at 75% they all explode within 2 minutes.

You're spending a little extra so you won't have to replace much more than PSU in the future.

Raidmax PSU's are generally considered crap also. You seem intent on a crappy PSU. Good luck!

The PSU is the heart of your system and the most important. If it goes out, there is a very good chance of it taking other hardware with it. This is the one piece you should not go cheap on.

I wouldn't buy it. Coolmax isn't really known for its gaming PSUs (as evidenced by its location in tier 5 aka DO NOT BUY) and it's weak on the 12V rail. It might not even be enough to run your 9800 GT let alone any upgrade you might want a year or two down the road - if it even survives that long.

I know you're on a budget, but a PSU is something you simply cannot go cheap on. You don't have to go excessive and buy a 1500W beast, You just need something solid that will work safely and reliably for 3+ years. The Corsair PSU that was pointed out earlier should be the minimum you go with. If you want to upgrade video cards within the life of this system, you should think about investing a bit more into your PSU and get one with 2 PCI-E plugs - preferably the 6+2 pin variety. It'll cost you now, but it'll save you money later in that you won't need a replacement PSU if it blows up (which may or may not take other parts along with it) and you won't need to upgrade your PSU if you want a GPU upgrade.

thanks everyone for your input but i think its finally finished, i have all the parts needed and all have a 4 to 5 egg rating (newegg.com) and this is what this build will have as followes:
