what are you gonna be using it for?



thats the most important question when buying a machine.

You could use an extra optical drive, and your video specs suck (if you have no AGP port available that really sucks no offense - but if you don't play games who cares I guess). Other than that it's good.

EDIT: I just realized you have an AGP card. I hope you investigated whether that board has an AGP slot. Assuming it does, then good. Though I think your card sucks overall, I woulda gotten a 9600Pro or something. But it ain't bad.

omg thats the worst setup ive ever seen come on dont post another setup until you are serious

EDO all the way baby!!! I have 64 in my old p166-S rig. Damn slow, I feel your pain, believe me. I had to use that POS for so long.

OK it's obvious you've never "built" a computer before... So I'll give you my suggestions...

Yea he didn't really specify did he. btw go with 9600Pro or up, not necessarily 9700 and up... This is a non-biased opinion btw. 9600Pro can hold it's own, and is DX9.0.
