Get DDR400 memory. Kingston HyperX works good for me. The ddr400 will allow you
to run the fsb at 200mhz if you decide you want to. Without it you won't have
that option. The xp 2500+ will run at 3200+ speed without a problem for little
difference in price. I'm not too hip on the expensive case either, just not my
preference. I have four home builds using about the same basic set up as you are
contemplating except I put them in less expensive cases with 300 w ps. So far,
so good, great functionality and I got three cases for the price of your one.
