looks good, but I would slap another GB of ram and a 7950GT in it and then you would be sweet. Other than that it is awesome.
 
It looks really good for a beginner, you did a good job. It looks like you picked good, reliable components too, which is a good thing because it means you took your time and did some research. I agree with the RAM upgrade, but it is not necessary because your system will still perform very well with only 1Gb. 2Gb is really not required at this point for a good system, but should definently be considered. If you upgrade the vid card, don't bother with a 7950, at least get an 8 series card. There should be a line of 8600 cards soon that should be affordable and offer outstanding performance, I would wait for those rather than jumping on a 7950 right before they become obsolete.
 
Cool, i was thinking of getting a new video card and more ram but i cant afford anything else right now hehe. I guess when the time comes. :p
 
Hmm thats interesting, your first build and you used cable sleeving and you mounted your hard drive backwards (for a cleaner look).

Good Job.
 
nice! Taking the extra hard drive racks out gives a cleaner look : ]
 
Looks pretty good. I'd say stick with the 7600GS for now, its good enough. I'm holding on to my 6800GS till a DX10 card is ~$200.
 
thanks guys =) im already thinking of another gig of ram. The only reason i only got one is because im only 15 years old and my dad basically payed for the entire thing. Hehe. So i guess when i gather up some money, ill get more ram and little more stuff to add to performance. =)
