for a little more you can buy a cheap computer with a dual core processor. seeing how you made that up for less than $300 dollars makes me shake my head at my six year old HP cause I spent over $1000 on it to see that its probably less than half of your proposed rig. personally i would go with with intel and get a e2xx dual core procesor and oc it since its one of the easiest to oc well.

*if ur os is vista get 2gb ram minimum.
 
What OS are you planning to use?

And I concur with dropping the Rosewill PSU. In fact drop the Enlight case as well and pick up this excellent case/PSU combo:
Antec NSK4480 ATX Case With Antec Earthwatts 380W PSU - $68

Also don't buy that thermal paste. The stock HSF already comes with the paste pre-applied.

In addition, you can get 2GB of RAM for the same price as that OCZ 1GB set:
Super Talent T8UB2GC5 2GB DDR2 800 RAM - $35

Oh and if you're willing to use Linux, you can get a Intel Dual-Core rig with 250GB of storage for about $330 (just remove the monitor)

well, i wanted to use on board its not doing any gaming of any sort. and its going to be running a older program that doesnt support dual core (dont think) or atleast doesnt need it. im just looking for a cheap trust worthy build. ;)
