Wow, you have a screamer there, the only suggestions i might have is to go with a quality psu (not something that comes with the case) and maybe look into a SATA hard drive, rather than a PATA. The SATA is about $10 more and is a noticable amount faster in game loading times. Also if your an OCer, factor in some premium cooling for that x800XT so you can OC it to its limits, it would be a shame for that card to sit in your box running at stock speeds... have fun

Yea, that looks very good. Were you planing on using the onboard sound (AC'97)?

Also, you just listed the hard drive, and before this becomes another debate on which hard drive is the "better", i would just like to say that ive had much luck with Western Digital and Seagate.


Just as a thought, ever consider going to the AMD 939pin, and getting Dual Channel RAM? Nice little AMD64 3500+ and something like a A8V motherboard.

Other then that, its fine! ^_^

If you're dropping that much on a nice system, please for the love of [H]ardware get a decent power supply and at *least* a good surge protector, preferably a UPS. For that system, an Antec Tru550 or Fortron 530 would do just nicely, as would a Vantec Stealth 520, PC Power and Cooling 510, Thermaltake 560. All of those are good, solid PSUs. Think of it this way: If you spend $2000 on a machine, spend a meer 5% of the total system price on a quality PSU. If not, think of how stupid you will feel when you PSU goes and takes out everything connected to it; You saved $100 right now, but in the long run you lost $1900.
