The MB should have a built in NIC. Someone else will have to comment on the rest.

I can tell you that with that system, you won't be able to play the latest and greatest games on high settings. You will be lucky to get them to play with decent frame rates on medium settings.

DDR2 PC6400 is 3 year old technology. I am rocking PC6400, but I overclock the hell out of it to 1.2 GHz. Can you recycle some old components such as a case, hard drive, optical drive, etc? You would be better off saving some more money and getting some better performing components if your goal is to play the latest games.
