Hi yall, I was just wondering what I could build with 1500 usd? Please be as thorough as possible, I am very much into gaming and I believe I could get a better gaming pc buy building it instead of getting one prebuilt. All of your input is greatly appreciated!!!

Do you think I could get a decent monitor, keyboard, mouse, and some speakers for 5.1 audio? Or would that be asking too much from my budget. I want something for gaming to the nth degree...I'm talking high res all sliders maxed Fear baby!

why so cheap on the motherboard? And why DDR2 1066 ram if the mobo only supports DDR2 667? Or am I missing something here?

The main thing is will this thing play games? I mean the really graphics intensive games...I don't want frame lag or anything. Should I upgrade to 2gb ram? Also will I be able to get all that stuff afore mentioned?
