And anything missing? I have a hard drive and video card.

CD/DVD-Drive, keyboard, mouse, monitor?

Possibly:

Miscellaneous or longer cables than what come with the motherboard.
More memory - Windows 7?


Hard drive needs to have a SATA interface to plug into this board without a PATA adapter.

The video card needs to have a PCI or PCI-Express interface (not AGP) to fit this board.

Also, Intel® Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool (http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?BoardName=DP45SG) indicates BIOS revision 0117 or greater is needed to support the E7300. Depending on the manufacture date of the motherboard you receive, the BIOS may need upgrading.

I would definitely look into some more memory. 1GB is an absolute minimum now-a-days.

As mentioned by Scleros, make sure that the hard drive and video card will be accepted by this motherboard.

And I would probably get a PSU with some more power to it. 350W is weak, especially if you plan to upgrade and especially if you have a higher end graphics card.

What where you planning to use this PC for?
