    Looks OK to me! Are you using onbord Graphics? I think ATI 200 Graphics are the best onboard around.

    Here is an even better one for just under $500:
    CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103637
    Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131022
    Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145568
    Case + PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811145049
    HD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822152020
    Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827136091
    Graphics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102657

    Add a bit onto that for all your extra bits n bobs and it comes to little over $500.
