It looks okay, but did you leave room to buy an os, keyboard, monitor?

Where is your HDD?

If you have a $500 dollar budget I bet there are some people who would put something together for you.

ya i bought a keyboard too and one of my friends said i could use his windows 7 til i get one of my own. i already had a hard drive and monitor.

Make sure your old HDD is SATA and not IDE. Your new MoBo does not support IDE devices ie. HDD, DVD-R, etc...

Considering your $500 budget, this system looks pretty good.

The only thing, like buckshot said --
