Building A System

Hey all, I'm new here. I'm going to be building a system soon and would like to get your input. This system is going to be multi-purpose. I'll of course be playing games on it but I'm also going to be doing alot of business from home which also may include web hosting. In any case, I would like some advice on my choice of the hardware for my system.

CPU : AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz
MB : Asus A7V Motherboard

Memory : PC133 SDRAM DIMMS (256 megs+)

Here's an interesting review on the Fastrak100 vs SCSI based

I have no clue as to CDROM. I'm not going SCSI this time around so the Plextor 40x is out and I don't know the good IDE CDROMs to get.

So do you see any problems? Serious bottlenecks in performance? Etc. Let me know.
