for your first build a barebones kit may be a good way to go

Add more RAM. 512 MB is more like it. Also, get a CD-RW/DVD combo
drive.

I prefer Seagate hard drives, because they are fast, dependable, and
silent. I just bought a Seagate 120 G. with 8 MB cache. It's very
nice, and is available for around $110.00 online.
