I might custom-build a PC, and I was wondering if all of this is compatable with itself. I’d also like some opinions on quality, but I’d like to keep the budget down, too…It was all ordered from NewEgg.com.
Oh, and when the Hard Drive says “OEM Drive Only,” does that mean it comes with the cable to connect it, too, or what? Thanks for all of your opinions.

OEM generally does not mean it comes with an IDE/ATA cable, but sometimes they do. I got one with my first NewEgg box, but not the second.

It all looks okay, I just did a once over, the motherboard will work with the video card, memory and CPU. I’d go for pc3200 RAM, and a better video card though. And go for XP Professional, home really sucks.
