Critique my New PC

[jaredchilders]

I think I did this once before a couple of years ago. I'm making a new system on the cheap. Tell me if I'm making a mistake. I have monitors, hard drives, dvd-r, and all that jazz, so I'm just buying the core components. Here's what I'm going to buy (you'll notice some of it is off-brand):

$69.99

1 GIGABYTE GA-EG31M-S2 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

2 Kingston 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory

1 CHAINTECH GeForce 8600 GT GSE86GT-A1 Video Card

$25.00 Mail-in Rebate
