Arrow Building my first computer!
Alright im on a budget for 700$ which i think i have accomplished....here is the list that i have made up, tell me if it will work or not? and i'm going to go caselss or use a 7 year old beige case which let's face it, is awsome (something about being stealthy just makes it more fun) if it comes down to it ill just buy a case with more fans.

looks good to me, similar to the system I just built. I had some issues with that Corsair RAM on a computer that I built for my parents, the two sticks wouldn't work in the same computer, but the only real problem was the voltages so it was all right in the end.

Good luck!

My zalman did me good. It could handle dual cores good enough, and a conroe too. (I had the 9500)

I like everything you put, except for the CPU cooler and the video card.

I would get a Xigmatek HDT-S1283, saving you a few dollars and getting you lower temperatures. And I would get an 8800GT instead of the 9600GT for the same price and with a better cooler (those EVGA dual slot coolers are garbage). The 8800GT also has free shipping, saving you another $8.25.

You have to admit it's overpriced for it's performance.
