I'm buying these parts, and using some other parts from various computers as detailed below. I don't have any experience with building a PC, and I'm just interested in better alternatives for around the same price, or errors in the build.
Parts I am buying:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Parts I am using from other computers:
1x 4GB RAM
2x 1GB RAM
WiFi Card pulled from a laptop
Case from a computer running Win 98
230W PSU from Win 98 PC

Will this build work, and am I forgetting anything important?

EDIT: Ideally I would like the build at $225, but would not want to go over $250. The build includes a KB and mouse.

What is your Max budget you are willing to spend
Do you need KB/M
Do you need Monitor

The case probably has very bad airflow and the PSU is bad quality as well im guessing

I know you are on an extreme budget but you should let us know how much so we can make you a build for your moneys worth!

My goal for the budget is to be as cheap as possible, I do know someone that can get me parts at cost, but I don't know how much cheaper that would be than online prices. I included a KB and mouse in the build. I really don't want to go over $250 though. Would it be beneficial to post a pic of the case?

OH! Should have mentioned this earlier, I am planning on overclocking the APU.
