it will be used to run massive databases and numerous macros at the same time. also i will be needing it to run many programs that cannot be slow or lagging. my current p 4 3g, 3xx ram and 5400 rpm hard drive 128 video doesnt cut it. no gaming.

wait... 160GB is a massive database?
why do you need a Radeon 9250 256MB video card for a database?

well i need a dual monitor setup and and a video card that can handle 2048x 15xx resolution(lots of programs running with no overlap)... also, i like listening to music while i work- helps time go by faster so i think the money on the sound card is well spent, besides its only 40$. i think i will add additional hard drives when i fill one up. (my current access databases can only go to 2gigs a piece) fill about 3 a month = 6 gigs each - lots of space. i think all of the macros/progrmas running at the same time are making my current computer slow more than anything.
i guess my initial use for computers wasnt clear enough
