So you think all this sounds like a plan?  I'm just worried I'll get the stuff and it won't all be compatible with each other.

I would have another set of eyes look at it..

Did you say this board had video on it? 

If not get a video card, like a 128 or something like that, should be cheap.

I don't know.  It sounds like it.  I was asking for comfirmation on that actually.  It says On Board Video - Onboard Video Chipset     NVIDIA GeForce 8 series.  So I assume.  But you know what happens when you assume...

It also shows 4 SATA cables.  It looks like a good board, and HDMI output too...,

Maybe order a cheap video card and return it or get one at best buy or something to have just in case.

Did you read some of the reviews?

Yeah.  I read through some of them.  I also figured that with 150 reviews, 78% of the people rated it 4-5 eggs.  I was thinking though that I wouldn't be against getting a slightly better board since my price range leaves some extra money yet.  Though I should probably hang on to that until I know if everything works or if I need to purchase anything else.

Anyone else have any input on the setup I have chosen so far?  I'm thinking I am going to go ahead and order the stuff either tonight or tomorrow morning probably unless someone tells me this stuff isn't good.

Hey, I can take a look tonight. Haven't had much time today.

Will also refer to my brother - he's a highly accomplished IT guy and builds a lot of computers on the side.

I don't know how you feel about refurbs but, I'm a HUGE fan of the Dell Refurb site.  There are crazy good deals to be had there and they all still come with a 1-year (90 labor / 1 yr parts) warranty.

I've had INCREDIBLE success with them -- and I've purchased about 30 of them since 2002.
If you've had to get 30 I'd stay away... Thats a new one every 3 months!!!

just kidding...
