Ram: Micron Original 512MB PC3200 DDR400 X 2 (1GB)
Case: Antec Overture II Quiet Media Case w/ 450W SmartPower 2.0


will this PC need special cooling?
am i missing something?
would a 380 watt power supply be fine as well?

all i want to be able to do is play DVD's, copy DVD's, play games, surf the net.

do i got my bases covered?
 
I don't know about the Overture but everything else is fine. I just think that there are way better cases out there then the Overture (they don't have the best PSUs for this kind of thing either).
 
Games might be limited with the 6600GT. If you are really into gaming then a 7800 version would be better. I don't recommend the 6800GT as they don't have compoment out capibilities. You will need a VGA to Component transcoder. This is all assuming you are using component video.
 
thanks for the help. i purchased it all.

one thing tho. can i adjust the heat pipe at all. it sticks out just a tiny but too much for me to put the case back on the antec. any suggestions, or will i have to find a different case?
