Default How does this sound?

Hey guys im putting a new rig together as some parts have just become available to me for and EXTREMELY cheap price. Heres the parts

ASUS P5N-D http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-232-_-Product

Core2Duo e8200 http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SLAPP

Antec Earthwatts 500watt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-007-_-Product

Antec 300 Case (will mod) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-042-_-Product

9600GT Superclocked http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-328-_-Product

Seagate Barracuda 500GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-294-_-Product

OEM DVD Drive

3 1/2 Gb Generic Crap ram (temp)

This will be a VERY cheap build. The MOBO, CPU, and PSU cost me $40, the 9600GT and RAM I already have and the Case, HDD, and DVD Drive, will come to about $120 so all in all this will cost me roughly $160. Think maybe ill throw in the new AC Freezer 7 Pro later. So what do you guys think about it? Suggestion for some cheap ram (ill get it for christmas) cheap cpu cooler? Mods for the antec 300?

My brother has the same motherboard. I just want to add in my experience, this ASUS mobo is not that good. has some pretty bad reviews. I would give it 2.5/5

Had some problems with the mobo drivers, but once I fixed it it's an ok mobo. Good for OC though. But... try to find an alternative if you can, or take a chance.

The cpu is cheap, you can OC easily to 3+. Pretty cheap build I would say.
