OK, Its me first post so go easy on me

I'm getting a 2000 Civic Si soon and am looking to put a fairly cheap PC in for gps, mp3, and all the usual goodies. I'm pretty good with computers..at least from the software side, but I havent built a custom yet ::blushes:: so thats why I need your help.

heres what I have

cpu:http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...190-049&depa=0
mobo:http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...135-154&depa=0
cpu: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...112-172&depa=0
vid card: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...102-437&depa=0
ram: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...156-019&depa=0
hdd: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...140-133&depa=0
dvd-rom: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...101-124&depa=0
sound card: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...102-178&depa=0

I hope everythings compatible, hehe. I know I will have to buy a few more things here and there, but what do you think about these things? It totals to $381.27 so far.

I will be using this w/ my sony hu (I will use the builtin amp..for now)

you can see the specs here

heres a general pic of the car

And a pic of the console

i will probably put my hu in the lower din like in the pic and use the double for the touch screen.

Well, Thanks for reading this far

. All comments (and criticism) are welcome.

I'm not even going to open the links, because the individual components don't relly matter. You seem to have everything you need, except a few things.

Power. You need to power all those components. You will need to find out how much wattage all that stuff is going to be drawing.

It's a minor detail, but you are also going to need a case. I'm sure you thought about that. But just checking.
