Blew up my mobo on a Dell I have. It's a couple years old but I think def still has some parts worth using. For some ridiculous reason it would cost $340 just to replace a mobo, so I decided to spend about that much money to build a new computer. Here's what I've come up with, let me know what you think. Any help is appreciated, as I am new to this.

This case and power supply. I had one of the skinny dell towers with a backwards mobo, so I gotta replace that.

This motherboard

This processor. There a $50 off deal on the mobo & CPU
I have a question whether I can use my old RAM or not for now, or whether I even want to. I have 2x1GB Samsung 1gb 2Rx8 PC2-4200U-444-12-E3
if I remember correctly it's 667MHz DDR SDRAM
I have a Radeon x1300 pro graphics card from my dell. I think I should be able to use it, looks like it's a PCIe16
My HDD is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 160GB. I shouldn't have any problems with my hard drive or disk drive or anything, should I?
I should probably buy a heatsink for my CPU too, yeah? I couldn't find one for AM3 that I didn't read a bad review about it fitting. Any ideas here?
Thanks a lot for reading this, any help is appreciated
