Is the OS you have the actual bought one? or one that came with a pc? I bought a new motherboard and had to then buy a new OS, as it only works for that motherboard :|

well, i had a copy of XP come with the machine, so that might not work. But i also got a free copy of vista in a promotion that came with the computer. You see, I bought it a couple of days before vista came out, so I dont think that you could call it came with the computer...... Not sure though.

NO! That motherboard uses DDR3-memory, and won't work with the DDR2-modules you've choosen. DDR3 is still relatively expensive and generally not worth it.

Go with this MB instead: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=54HQ&CategorySelectedId=11143&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11143

Also, I would recommend you to switch to these memory-sticks from Corsair instead, they're generally know for being very good:http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=4PDL&CategorySelectedId=11025&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11025&InMerch=1

Otherwise it looks very good, altough I would personally go for a case and PSU of higher quality.

Ah, right.... Thanks a lot Jowy! Updated OP with the links you suggested. And yeah, I'll try and find a better quality case and power supply.

A flashy dabs value case like that will probably just break, I would say either just buy cheap, or buy a higher quality one.

OCZ makes good stuff. I approve.

Your old OS should work with the new system, I'd try it before you go out and buy it. Worst case scenario you have to call a microsoft activation rep and get the activation code by phone and just say 'no sir, my hard drive failed and i reinstalled it'
