Ok, first let me thank you "Yawgm0th" and you "casecutter" for all the help and clarifications!!
Ok, i made some modifications based on your advices and here are the changes:
case--
will the MOBO, fans and all fit properly?? (i think so but it doesn't hurt to ask)
PSU--i had already picked one but forgot to list previously
Thermaltake PurePower 560W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153015
now there is this one for less than half the price, what do you say??
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817163018
i decided to stick with AMD x2 4400+ cause like i said, i won't be able to get it in the future
I went with the video card suggested by you guys
MOBO-- the one suggested by "Yawgm0th"
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813152049
Ram-- OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel

Cooling-- decided to take the heatsink and fan suggested by "Yawgm0th"
but i didn't get this part

Don't get the copper XP-90, and you might have to get it somewhere other than Newegg. The aluminum one is almost as good and will cost half as much

so i should get another model? and in the future i might have to get it anyway?
HD--still need help here!! not sure if i should go with ultra ata or serial ata, i want to get a 300gb, please direct me to one around no more than $150
**dropped the sound card and the LG drive, cause I don't really need the card and my DVD is still good
Lastly, the OS, i have a windows home cd from my roomate that she used for her Delll, should i buy a new OS or that one would be fine?
Also, i put off buying the Monitor for a while, since my monitor still good for know and I now I can get a better deal on that 1905fp monitor so, i'll just stay on the lookout for any coupons and/or deals on it.
One last thing, is there any "tricks" for shopping at newegg.com ??like any special coupons, or combining shipping or anything??
Thanks a lot !! you guys are great!!
