For the video card, i would suggest paying some more for something like the GT 240: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150475 A lot more performance for $30 more and if you ever get the mail-in rebate, it will cancel out the price dif.

PS: The XFX video card has a much better warranty, so its more than just a $10 price difference.
