We have been working on putting some budget shopping lists together i this is our $500 system it might suit you and would be better than the system you put together there.
Thanks go to Gerry he put this config together and we all think its a good deal, only big difference between what you put together and this is the CPU is faster and it has less ram and a CD/DVD drive.

This particular board has integrated video, audio, lan, as expected. A full complement of usb, and support for RAID. Not too shabby. It's a small atx, though, with only two pci slots and one pci express x1 and 1 pci express x16. Only two DDR slots though.
