It makes no sense to me to buy a $60 cpu to use for 6 months and replace it with a $140 cpu.

For $200. you can buy a 2500K which is much better.

Ram is sold in kits for a reason: To insure compatibility. Better get that 4gb kit up front.

Your 200gb sata drive is fine. Get something else only when you fill it up.

June, upgrade the cpu, mobo and ram

Upgrade the graphics card, and psu later. Or, you could do this in June for a nice benefit in gaming, and do the cpu/mobo/ram later.

Do the case and W7 when you can.

The stock cooler will be ok for modest OC.
