Hey all, this has been long overdue but I'm finally getting around to building myself a new system. Wanted to get your guys feedback on what I have lined up so far, and anything that I might have missed =X .
Case $90 - Storm Scout
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119196
CPU $160 - Phenom II X4 955
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103674
CPU HSF $40 - If anyone has any good suggestions please share as I don't have a lot of experience with aftermarket coolers. I like this one, but I'm a bit worried this won't fit in my case however.

Motherboard $100 - Divided on the following:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130275
RAM $110 - Divided on the following too:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211409
HDD - Currently using this drive to store some files, figured I'd just move them elsewhere and reuse it.

GPU - For the time being I'm gonna reuse my old 4770.
PSU - Already have this PSU lined up.

Optical Drive $30 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106335
Total:$530
Still have to pick up Windows 7 as I was dumb and didn't buy it last year during the discounts . So let me know what ya guys think, my budget is flexible but I rather stay in the ~$700 range. I think it'll be easier for me to have a solid foundation that I can add on throughout the year like a new GPU, monitor and maybe even an SSD when they get cheaper.
