looks good to me. If I was you I would consider getting a seperate sound card instead of what onboard. I have notice in many games you cant hear the extreme lows unless you have a decent sound card.

I linked you to the gamer edition the only difference between this and the non gammer edition is the gammer edition comes with 5 games (jedi acanmedy, halo, rainbow 6 3, splinter cell, tomb raider) right now at newegg at least the gamer edition after rebates is cheaper so it no reason not to take the 5 games.

Compatible but a waste to connect the video and ram to such a relatively underperformed CPU (and chipset). You're better off with a A64-3800 on a NF3-250 with a 6800GT and Corsair XMS but thats just my thought :)

k, sounds like a plan, but where would you recommend to get one, and do you have a brand you like

alienware might be good ?
