pricewatcher.com it shows current prices of computer parts. i suggest you google a guide on building a computer before doing so. what are you planning to use your computer for? if u are planning on building a gaming pc i would suggest you to focus on the mother board and get dual pci-e slots. if your planning on building a media pc for downloading movies or music i would go for a large hardrive really depends....

Yes, they are all compatible, except for the DDR2 RAM, which you will have to change for DDR3, or change the motherboard for another one that supports DDR2.The 750W PSU is a wise choice, because power supplies don't always deliver their maximum, especially if high-loaded and heated up.If you had chosen a 650W PSU, there would be a big chance of failure.I would just change, in your configuration, the AMD CPU and its motherboard, for an Intel CPU with its respective motherboard, and the HD4850X2 by a GeForce X285, but that's up to you.

Everything but the case I like in my opinion,I dont like the fact that you cannot use a Zalman 9xxx series, I think those coolers are the best for your AMD quad core CPU, but that's just me. I would use Antec 300 case with an Antec 850W power supply.
