Ok I have been picking parts off newegg to build this computer I want. I am paying for it my self and I currently have an account with $1600 set off for personal stuff. Because of this I only want to spend $600 and buy other things with the $1000. I have a list of parts picked I think will work, if you could look them over and tell me if you see any compatibility issues that would be great.

Is their anything else I will need besides a ribbon cable and an e-SATA cable? Are any of the parts there junk? I tried to pick ones with good ratings. The grand total is $560, so is there anything I can upgrade, I will be using an external usb wireless card I already have so no need for a network card. I already have a keyboard/monitor etc. from my current PC. Also I may want to add some USB ports to the front, what can I do? All help
appreciated thanks! BTW, OS will be WinXP Pro, I have a CD and key.
PS: Will I need a power harness?
