Building a new PC in the next few months

Ok dear masses of 4ch, I have a dilemma. What the hell should I stick in my new computer.

Currently spec'd at today's prices and equipment, this is what I'd seriously consider (all prices from newegg.com, in USD):

Shuttle XPC Black Barebone System for Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 CPU, Model SN95G5 - $329.00
AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 512KB L2 Cache, Socket 939 64-bit Processor - Retail - $240.00
WINTEC AMPO 184-pin 512MB DDR PC-2700, Model 35144588-P - $62.50
ATI Radeon X700 PRO Video Card, 256MB DDR, 128-Bit, DVI/TV-Out, PCI-Express, Model "100-437402" -RETAIL - $203.00
SAMSUNG 120GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model SP1213C, OEM Drive Only - $80.00
Samsung 16X DVD�RW, Model TS-H552B/WBCH Black, OEM Bulk - $56.99

Currently I'm not planning on building until sometime in February, mainly waiting for Shuttle to release an nForce4 with PCI-E and a card to go with it. Any other recommendations in addition/instead of the parts litsed?

Unless you're playing games, encoding video, or rendering, 850MHz is more than enough.

If you're in college, you're probably best off not doing any of the above. Do you really need the temptation?
