Good?

Edit 2: Just looked over the components again and noticed I can trim the cost by around $60 if I take off the CPU fan and add in a better power supply.

Edit 3: My bro has helped me make some changes.

Edit 4: Decided to get extra fans.

Edit 5: I just ordered the case fans and the DVD burner. Should arrive in about a week.

Edit 6: Threw in another fan for the lulz.

Edit 7: Fans and burner have shipped.

Edit 8: Added in a CPU cooler.

Edit 9: Parts arrived!

Edit 10: Adding a "Potential Addons I Do Not Need" section here.

WHY SO MUCH RAM?

Because I want to have an excess of it to make up for the years I've had to deal with 512 MB :D
