What are you using the computer for? I see you have a gaming mouse and keyboard, so i'll assume your a gamer. If your interested in playing new games, I wouldn't go with the 7300GT, I would get at least the 7600GS. And you may want to look into the AMD X2 3800+, depending on your budget and how much more their charging.

That seems a little pricey considering the parts your getting. You could probably build your own identical system for around $700.
 
i agree with omega, with the x2 3800+ instead of the 3800+ (x2 is dual core) and a 7600GS or GT that would be a very nice system. everything else looks good. check out www.ibuypower.com and see what you can build for your price range, that is if you dont want to build the system yourself.
 
thanks yes i am starting to game. what is the advantage of having the x2 3800. and what is the difference between a gs card and gt. sorry im still trying to learn about all the parts.
 
the x2 is dual core, meaning its like having 2 processors in one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_core

the 7600GS is a good card, but the 7600GT is better. all the brands of different cards have different specs so i cant compare very easily. i got my 7600GS for $110 from newegg and most of the GT's go for around $150.
 
well i was looking at ibuypower because like i said i am still learning my way around computer hardware, and even though i could probably build it on my own most likely i'll mess up somewhere. two things though i presume for gaming i should get the 512mb7600gs instead of the 256mb but which is better the 7300gt 512 or 7600gs 256. and should i still get that other 500w power supply supply. will the 500w make a big difference from the 400w the case comes with? thanks for all your answers in helping me out guys. its appreciated greatly.
