It's been a bit since I've built a system, and I'm honestly not entirely up to date on the new hardware, as far as compatbility goes.
The system's going to be used for both gamimg and graphic design, and I already have the optical and HDDs that I need. Here's the specs as they stand:
GIGABYTE GA-945P-S3 LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard $82.99
EVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 KO Video Card $154.99
Thermaltake W0093RU ATX 12V 2.0 Version 500W Power Supply - Retail $79.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6400 $222.00
pqi 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Desktop Memory Model MAC41GUOE $63.99 X2
Is there anything that I'm missing, or that I should substitute?

Things you might want to consider:
Getting a intel 965 motherboard.
Getting a ati 1950PRO GPU.
Getting 2GB or ram.
(Please do not gift. My game bank is already full.)
If you can wait a month or so for the low end Dx10 cards to come out, then it might be wroth it. And if you're into graphic design you're probably better off with a couple of gigs of ram.
