*Looks at PSU* Dear God, are you serious? That thing does not have enough power for your system, not even close, and Apeva........Get a 600w or so PSU from PC Power and Cooling or Corsair

Also, what's up with that motherboard? Do you need the IGP and the small form factor for some reason? Considering this board is going in an Antec 900 with a GTX 260 strapped to it, I'd say you have no need for either one. Get a full size P45 board.

EDIT: Oops, missed the DDR memory. You want DDR2 (and consider 4GB if your budget can take an extra $50 or whatever). And don't bother with the Raptor, just get a 7200RPM drive from WD or Seagate

Also, just get the WD 640GB one, it's actually a lot cheaper and runs equally fast as that raptor.
