My new build.

I've already gone about $100 over my original budget as it is. But believe me Cabbs, if I could do more, I would. I'm also a little limited because of my 550 Watt PSU.
 
550 watt PSU? As long as you have some amps on the 12V+ rail, you won't be pushing it.
 
Mobo: ASUS M4A78T-E
CPU: AMD Phenom II 940 BE
That is a DDR3 board, the 940 does not have a DDR3 memory controller. You need to either go with a DDR2 board (There's difference in performance) or go with an AM3 CPU such as the 955.
The 955 will also work on a DDR2 board as it has a DDR2 and DDR3 memory controller. Perhaps 955 + DDR2 790GX + 2x2GB DDR2 1066?

It's an Antec triple 12V.

Wow thanks. What an oversight on my part. Would have sucked to bought the parts and find out they didn't work together. +1 rep.

My sisters like to play the older Freddie Fish kind of games from the windows 98 era. I'm going to partition the hard drive and put Windows 7 RC on a larger part of it to run newer apps.
