that seems ok for what you need. of course, you could have went with socket 939 with pci express, but it doesn't look like you will need that since your computer needs are basic.

Ok, recently bought a desktop from a recommended small computer shop (computer was built on site) and now am unsure of whether I got a good deal or not. The owner is totally willing to make changes to the system if I decide to. I spent $870 so far and am able to go up to $1000. Here are the parts:
AMD Athlon 64 bit 3000+ 754 socket
ASUS K8S-MX Mother Board
Lite-on 16 X DVD+/- R/RW, double layer
Maxtor SIS 120 GB Hard Drive
512 MB DDR RAM
Network Card
Integrated sound and video card
17"Aopen 757JS LCD Monitor- blurry
ATX Case with fan, blue lights
Want it for email, word processing, surfing the web, downloading, and burning movies and music. Might watch some dvds on it, not really into games yet. Should I make any upgrades or changes or should I just return the whole thing and start over? As you may tell, not really advanced with computers. Thanks for any help.
