You might want to add a video card. OS and what it will be mostly used for might get better responses. I do like Antec cases. I get the VAR versions and add my own PS. Their PSs are decent. Have fun.

Be aware that "built-in" video usually uses up to 64MB of your system RAM and the built-in sound may need to uses additional system memory for buffers.
