I left out speakers and sound because I'm not sure what you want with that. I chose widescreen because that's what I prefer - again, whatever you like is best there. If you really want to shave off costs, use your old speakers (and maybe monitor), and cut off 1GB of RAM. I'm not sure about the motherboard - I think it's fine, but you might want to wait for someone like Lemur or Whacker.
