things i see wrong: your o/s is still pre-beta (that's a joke), and the video card is a little weak if you're planning on running higher than 1024x768 with any amount of eye candy.

if you're on a semi-tight budget, recommend a slower cpu and either a hd3850($170), 3870 ($220) or an 8800gt ($300).

i didn't see a motherboard, so i'm assuming this is an ickdell or hp or something? :sigh: :shakehead tell me i'm wrong...?

I would get rid of vista, and stick with windows xp for now, if you already have a disk for XP that will save some money

Plus do you really need 500gb of space if you dont cut it down to 320gb and that should be enough to afford an ati 3870 graphics card which is about 2x faster than the one you have listed
