    Hi

    Case looks good, and will work with your motherboard. I've heard the best things from ASUS motherboards, FYI, and notice the reviews on the motherboard you have picked out... not a reputation I'd spend my money on, personally.

    Advice: DON'T get that PSU. The power supply is the make or break component of a computer. Never try to go cheap with a PSU! Also, it looks like it's pretty underpowered for your system. You should get a 750W+ Antec or Corsair PSU (those are the best brands). Remember, while your build may not NEED 750W right now, that leaves some room for upgrades in the future. Also, you want a PSU that rates well over what your computer needs, so it doesn't have to work as hard, and thus will last longer.

    Also, I personally would go with Kingston or Crucial RAM, as G.SKILL and some other brands can have issues (not much of a price difference either).

    Not sure on the GPU, I haven't looked into it.

    What power supply should i get with that desktop case
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146058

    i thought 550 would be more then enough
    CPU is 125 W
    The video card i bought is not top of the line
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130313
    But Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply.
    (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amp Amps.)
    And Ram is
    1.5V

    I figured that would be more then enough for a DVD ROM player and two SATA Drives
    80 gig and a 320 gig

    Again, the brand of power supply really does matter.

    This is what I would recommend:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...71026&cm_re=antec_750w-_-17-371-026-_-Product

    If you're bent on getting a lower wattage, then I'd recommend this one:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._re=antec_power_supply-_-17-371-031-_-Product

    However, as you can see it's not much of a price difference, so I would really go with the 750W.

    You may think you're saving $40 by buying a cheaper brand PSU, but when cheap PSUs go bad, they usually take out system components with them!

    EDIT: Also remember keeping the ability to upgrade, and keeping a "buffer" of power the PSU supplies versus the power your computer uses.

    This is a good power calculator (add at least 100W to the total for a good buffer):
