Not bad for an entire computer (esp, at that speed). Of course this was w/o monitor...I guess you could tack on an extra 500-700 dollars for a nice flat panel display;).

Your video card sucks man, dont get it .. get R9700PRO.I love my R9700PRO, Vice City runs flawlessly at 1280x1200 .. Im at constant 90+ FPS.Oh yea, when I built my own computer , I spent only 800 bucks on it, and I got the R9700PRO free :)Im planing on upgrading my memory soon to 2GB PC3200, 1x 100GB HD & Athlon XP 2800 (should cost me little under 300 bucks).

I have a local supplier that is located by my house, they are also online (they ship stuff to where-ever), I get stuff REALLY cheap there because when I build computers for people I go only there, so I get stuff at cost.The R9700PRO for free was compliments of the house ;)

I love Newegg. They've always got good prices and I've never had a single problem with 'em.

I'm holding off on upgrading my computer while I work on my car. :)

If you plan on overclocking your system, you should look into CPU HSF, I have V9+ and Im pretty happy with it.Im thinking going extreme and getting a very silent HSF like V7+ or V11.

and NO :)
