For the mobo get a Gigabyte DS3 as it will overclock better than the abit. For the ram make sure you get a 1gig stick so you can upgrade to 2gig down the road. For the powersupply get this 500W Silverstone SST-ST50EF: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=355398 Also for the GFX card get a 7600GT as it should be around the same price as that x1600pro.

Read the [H] reviews on the recent abit conroe boards. They're not highly recommended.

Definitely try to go with a Gigabyte DS3 or an Asus P5B-E board instead.

For people that live in the U.S. you might want to go with something like an X1900GT like this one for only $164.99 at the Egg.

It would give you a nice boost in gaming performance for very little extra money.

I like the 1900GT as well, suggest you go with E6400 as the higher multiplier will let you overclock higher (lower FSB speeds) without stressing your ram or motherboard as much. Only a few pounds/euros/bucks more and will make overclocking so much easier.
