Just tryin to help ya out a bit here
1st
Ditch the Aspire case and get a good one, you'll be glad ya did. The cdrom doors are chincey & the temp gauge is not very accurate. Your going to spend $60 on a cheap case then another $60 on a decent P.S.? Just get a good chassis without a P.S. or a good chassis w/good P.S.{works out to about the same amount of $$$}
2nd
Get the Epox EP-8RDA3+ instead, again you'll be glad ya did {theres a reason why the AN35N is $21 cheaper than the 8RDA3+}
3rd
Use the XP2500+ Barton chip, not the moble
4th
Get the WD 80GB SATA HDD, it's quieter, has a three yr warranty instead of one, costs less, produces less heat and is faster
5th
You'd also be better off to get the 128mb Radeon 9800Pro over the 256mb model. You won't see any better performance {espeacialy in AH} than you will with the 128mb version and you'll save a few dollars to spend on better RAM.
6th
Get the Corsair XMS DDR PC2700 or 3200, not the value stuff {your chip is a 333 chip}

i changed my mind about dat Mobo but my rams still going to work right i dont know any one that has that mobo so i dont know how it runs Ah also im getin this Case: ASPIRE Turbo Case X-Pider White ATX Full Tower Case with 420W Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=11-144-003&depa=0&manufactory=BROWSE)

Get the mobile . The multipliers are unlocked on the mobile and are better OC'ers.
-
do u have it hows it run??
-
That's a decent choice for a chassis, better construction than your other picks.
You will not have any prob's with the EP-8RDA3+ mobo, it's up to you if you want to get the moble 2500, I would still recomn'd the standard chip. OC'ing isn't going to get you any real world noticable improvments. As far as AH2 goes, their game doesn't like Radeon cards anyways, so it doesn't matter what one you get. If you're looking for fast frame rates & video {for AH2} I would get the Nvidia card FX5700 or higher.
As for other games {anything but AH2} you're Radeon will run flawlessly, I know because I have & sell both.
All the hardware you are listing is good hardware and will run just about any game on the planet at high rez's, however AH2 is in a class by itself. It is not optimized for ATI/Radeon cards and favors the Nvidia chipset.

Yes, that is a good chassis. Should do you just fine:aok
