I'd personally go for the MSI K8NGM2-FID 6150 motherboard instead (if you can get your hands on one)
2GB is probably overkill - 1GB should be plenty
And a seasonic S12 or Antec Neo He will be quieter than the akasa
If you want to trim the budget an X2 3800+ won't be a lot slower, but is a lot cheaper

thanks for the replies.
The LC17 is big enough to allow for standard atx, so theres no need to go micro-atx.
I was thinking of going the 3800+ route and using the extra cash to get 2 spinpoint hdds for possible dvd storage.
