ok, right off the bat, DO NOT GET A 2.5" HDD FOR A DESKTOP

and also, 250g is wayyy too small

1tb WD caviar blue or black

Not too bad. I don't really see the point in getting a micro ATX mobo if you're already getting a ATX Mid tower case.

Also, the hard drive is really small, and I wouldn't get a 2.5" HDD. They're more expensive. Get a 3.5"

I just ordered a 1TB Seagate Barracuda for $60 for the rig I'm building.

Everything else in the rig really depends on what you are going to be using it for, like CloudScorpion said.

Before you buy anything; research, research, research. Look around, look at prices, watch prices, use coupons, use discounts. It will save you a lot of money, I've already saved over $50 by just seaching around for the best deals.
