Hello everyone!

I am looking to build a system for a friend. He's a DJ and needs RCA ins and outs on the sound card, and ability to have dual-monitors. He's on a tight budget, so here's what I came up with. Could someone check over the configuration, and tell me if it will run? I am open to suggestions. :)

Case & Power: POWMAX CP808PL-1 Beige Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 350W Power Supply
Motherboard: ECS 848P-A (V2.0) Socket 478 Intel 848P ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Processor: Intel Celeron D 310 Prescott 533MHz FSB 256KB L2 Cache Socket 478 Processor - Retail
HDD: HITACHI Deskstar T7K250 HDT722516DLAT80 (0A31635) 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive - OEM

CD-R: BenQ Beige 52X CD-R 32X CD-RW 52X CD-ROM 2M Cache E-IDE/ATAPI CD Burner - OEM
RAM: AMPO 256MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) System Memory - Retail

Video: HIS Hightech H700H64-1SSAN Radeon 7000 64MB 64-bit DDR AGP 2X/4X Video Card - Retail

Thank you very much for all your help!!!

Edit: Someone had told me that I will have an issue with the Pentium D processor, so I found this alternative: Will this one work better?
 
hi im not too sure about the cpu compatibility,

you said your open to suggestion so here are my ikkle tips: i see that the main-board is quite low priced. i work on a reasonably cheap motherboard and admit to have some problems and occasional crashes unlike my home pc so i suggest raising the budget a little for that

secondly, i take it he /she is going to be using dj software, so i doubt that the cpu is the great choice, for efficient swifting without cpu letting ya mixes down i suggest also highering the budget with getting a faster cpu, celeron is 'OK' btw.

i like your hdd (aprox 30,000 mp3s) so i dont suppose these's a problem with that side
 
Well, what kind of budget is he looking at? I see where there could be some improvements.
 
The biggest concern I see is with the PowMax PSU thats included in the case. That's a disaster waiting to happen. Spend a little more and get an FSP or Antec 350W unit. PowMax is one of the worst PSU brands out there. I wouldn't put it in any rig under any circumstances.
