did not see in your post if you plan on going sli/crossfire or if you just want to slap together a cheap costing computer that will play games at decent fps? Do you want to upgrade parts in the future or does this have to last for awhile?
what I can suggest is defiently do not get the rosewill psu, you want quality. The psu is a most important part in your system, if you try to cheat and get a lower costing psu you will pay for it in the long run.
I would get the corsair 850tx for a power supply, its $139 with a $30 mail-in-rebate
not a fan of micro motherboards, why not just get the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard
for $119 with a $15 mail in rebate.
and if you upgrade to this mother board, you can upgrade your memory for around the same price
g.skill 4GB(2x2GB) 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR1066 dual channel memory model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
and for the OS, why not wait til october and buy windows 7? you can get windows 7 RC x64 from MS in the meantime(if they still have downloads for it). if you plan on getting 4GB of memory, you'll want to get a x64 os, so you can use you're 4GB and not have your computer use 3.5 GB if using x86
hope this helps
