Update: I've got the computer built(mostly) and running. It works fine. The only compatability issue was with the mobo and the case. None of the screws that came with the case were long enough. Also, the case didn't have a lowered section for a metal plate on the mobo to sit in.
I've already figured out how I'm going to fix it without replacing the case. I'm just going to take some fish tank air hose and cut it to the right length to support the mobo when I screw it in so that it doesn't get bent when I tighten the screws to secure it in place. Secondly, I'm going to get some longer screws.
But since that issue doesn't prevent me from actually turning the thing ON, I've already got XP loaded on it and it seems to be working fine.
Thanks everyone for the help and advice. It kept me from screwing up when I picked out the components I wanted.
P.S. - Oops, forgot I was on my girlfriends computer...... I forgot to log off of her account.
