I don't see a case in your build.

If you do need a case, here is a good case/PSU combo:

Antec NSK4480B Black with Earthwatts 380watt PSU

Free shipping and is only $29.99 after a $40 MIR

The case will choose my friend by himself directly in the shop.

And I forget to mention

LG 22" LCD W2241S-BF 5ms 8000:1

Everything looks pretty good but I would recomend 1 change:

OCZ ModXStream Pro 500watt bundled with Western Digital SE16 640GB

$89.98 after $20 MIR. A quality modular PSU for $20, hard to beat :P

Welcome to the forums!

With a P45 motherboard I would go with a ATI HD4850, since it supports Crossfire. Get the 1 GB version if you can.

For memory I would go with Corsair, OCZ, Patriot or Crucial.
Get 4 GB if you can.

Personally I think I would go with the mATX board and save the money. Here is a review...
