It looks good but for memory go with 4bg(2x2) run you like $400-$450 more but worth it. You might wanna go with maybe 600w+ i don' t think a 420 would be good.

2 gigs of DDR2 800 is like $50 for corsair XMS matched pair.$100-$150 if you want something fancy.
Vista may run "fine" with 2gigs, but 4, or even 3, would be alot better overall, it can be a real resource and power hog, and doesnt always play nice with multiple programs running.

How does this look?
You already have an OS?
No im getting windows vista.
The 420 PSU can handle everything?
What does that mean?
I was merely asking if the 420W power supply that comes with the case would be able to handle everything on that machine.
No clue. I would like someones opinion.
You already have an OS?
If you are getting vista, you want 4 gigs min
The graphics card, i would aim towards a 4870 personally, thats the thing thats going to be doing most of the games work.
And you are going to need a much bigger power supply then a 420, atleast a 600.

I read that Vista runs fine with 2GBs.
