I'm tryin to build a computer the best i can for under $600.....I'm not a big gamer and really don't play anything that requires an extreme video card......I just need some recommendations for all the parts listed below:
-Processor
-Hard drive
-motherboard
-memory
-cool lookin case (possibly LED/side window)
-PSU(if needed)
-Fans(if needed)
-Video card(if funds allow)
-CD Rom(CD-RW) no DVD unless funds allow

please let me know what your thinkin...I'm new at this so the more help the better
 
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3000+
Hard Drive: 120GB Maxtor
Mother Board: ASUS A7N-E
Memory: 1GB DDR333 or 1GB DDR400
Cool lookin case: look in your shop near you
PSU: 450W Okia Power supply
Fans: Standard CPU fan, standard 80mm system fan
Video card: Geforce 5200, 5500 or 5900
CD-Rom: LG 52X CD drive (if you want a CD burner, a LG 52x32x52 would do)
 
Oh right, your budget is 600... ERm, I don't really kow what could be great to you since $600 will get you what we call the ultimae work comp...CPU welded, low memory...

Go with Mercury and get a 512MB DDR400 memory stick. And go with the rest I've given EXEPT: CPU, motherboard. These will come both toether with the Mercury
 
and can i get all these things at newegg or tigerdirect...newegg is my friend....so please tell me where to get these
