ive posted a time or two about a new computer. basically im in high school (senior)and dad said he'll give me a 1000 dollars for graduation. so, i want a new computer. its probably gonna be used mostly for gaming and watching dvd's and listening to music. im moving in with him for awhile(divorced parents) and he has a whole 6 channels of tv 
so want a computer to keep myself busy. so anyways, like i said. new computer with a thousand dollars to work with. i can go more, im gonna be working to get more money if i need it, but not over 1300. any suggestions for what to get? what i was looking at is...
asus a7n8x deluxe $137.99
amd xp 2800+ $225.50(unless 2700+ will be good enough $180)
corsair memory xms series, pc2700 333mhz 2x512 $194 ($95 each)
lite on 52x24x52 cdrw $45.50
lite on 16x dvd $33.00
wester dig. 80 gig 8mb 7200 rpm $94.00
Logitech Z560 speakers $139.00
Total(including shipping for this stuff): $900.49
Thats the basics of what i want. i would like to stay around the 1000 dollar price range, but ill go a little higher like i said. no monitor, keyboard, mouse, or OS needed. Is 1 gig of ram overkill for what im doing? Suggestions for: what case, case fans, cpu fans, and power supply. Ill change other things if theres better stuff for tad more or cheaper. also do i need a sound card with this motherboard, heard the built in one is good enough. i might overclock if its easy enough
