Hey, for the price, I feel that this is a good system. Going to start ordering it soon.
So, I wanted you all to rip it to shreds first, see if there are any legitimate suggestions before i go do this thang.

MSI K7N2G-ILSR motherboard
http://www.directron.com/k7n2gilsr.html

2x256MB (512 for you math geniuses) PC3500 DDR in dual channel (Samsung, cuz it's not too much $$, but usually still reliable)
160GB Maxtor (7200rpm, ata/133, 8MB)--supposed to be quiet too
XP 2600+ with a Volcano 7+(coolerguys.com)

350W PSU
eventually a 9700pro, for now my old 8500 LE
Syncmaster LCD and a 18" CRT
Don't worry about the case and peripherals...i can make up my own mind on those.

Well?
 
Come on, somebody has to have an opinion...is there anything to consider when assembling this system?
EDIT:
OK, I ordered stuff today.

Maxtor 160GB ata133 7200rpm 8MB cache- $175
512 MB DDR433 (PC3500) Samsung- $70
MSI K7N2G-ILSR- $136
SkyHawk Black Aluminum case(dealsonic)w/400W- $60
CD-RW/DVD combo Samsung- $65
XP 2600+ (333MHz FSB)- $157

Any thoughts?
