1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc

Office, web, basic pshop, basic windows movie editing, light gaming (nothing serious), but I would like it to be fairly stout was thinking alone the lines of a PII945 build

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?

$500 Max

3) Where do you live?

SoCal

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.

Everything but the Case HDD & PSU

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.

This PSU and a WD 500gb GP drive

6) Will you be overclocking?

Nope

7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?

22" 1900x1200

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?

This week

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.

Nothing IGP is fine

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?

Yes
 
That powersupply is of poor build quality, anytime you see a PSU specs rated @ 25 c. 9 times out of 10, its total monkey crap.
 
 
Define total monkey crap have not run across that terminology before. Is it somewhere between total bullshit and my dog craps more powerful than that?.

I need an optical drive as well.

Any reason to use that combo over say this mobo?

Otherwise I like where you're going with this.
