HD is somewhat small and video card is a lightweight. I'd consider scaling back the CPU a bit to get a 7600gt or x1800gto. a 250gb hd shouldn't be more than $30 more.

This isn't a build

It's buying a pre-built computer. That video card sucks, and I wouldn't trust the crappo PSU that comes with the case. Just order parts from newegg, and build it yourself.

GET A FAN

by Scrotes4Life Jun 24, 2006 10:23AM PDT

Make sure that you get a heavy-duty cooling fan for that processor!
That system is going to sound like an Electolux Vacuum cleaner when it runs, but it's going to kick some serious boo--ty!
Good luck.

Save some money (build it yourself)

by engelasche Jun 24, 2006 8:15PM PDT

I agree with nathanpsz2 to build the computer yourself. It quite easy really, instructions normally come with the motherboard. Also think wheather you need that kind of case, you could probably save a few bucks if you get a cheaper one but of course don't cheap out on the PSU.
