New PC, Please comment

[TGGoose]

I'm looking to build a new computer with the exception of the hard drive and AGP video card that I just bought for my old computer (a Samsung 80Gb IDE drive and BFG 6600GTOC AGP). All prices are from Newegg.com

Here is what I've come up with on my own. My main goal is upgradability (with the exception of the AGP) and trying to keep it as quiet as I can without going nuts. I'm interested in modest overclocking but nothing extreme.

Case: Antec PERFORMANCE TX1088AMG Gray Steel Server Computer Case 480W Power Model #: TX1088AMG $160.00

MB: MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra ATX AMD $128.00

Proc: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3200DAA4BP - OEM $196.00

RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model KVR400X64C3AK2/1G - Retail
Model #: KVR400X64C3AK2/1G $82.00

Arctic Silver "ARCTIC SILVER 5" Thermal Compound - OEM
Model #: ARCTIC SILVER 5 $7.99

Heatsink: THERMALRIGHT XP-90C Heatsink - Retail
Model #: XP-90C $66.99

You'll want a 92mm fan. I recommend selling the AGP card and getting a PCI-E so you can go nf4. You're not going to get upgradability out of AGP anymore. You won't lose that much selling it on the FS/FT forum.

xoxide.com has the xp 90c for $50 and the aluminum xp 90 for $30, just a thought to save some money

I've made a couple changes to my shopping list above:

CASE: Antec Sonata II

MEMORY: Corsair XMS (2x512)

Thinking about trying the stock cooler that comes with the processor... Is that a bad idea with stock config or slight overclocking?

Stock HS fan is a bad idea if you are going to overclock.
