Hi,
I have an interesting situation. I am “finally” going to buy and build a new computer. But the parts have to come from zipzoomfly… long story short… a friends work has a promotional thing for their employees who are students… so im going through him.
I know newegg is better but in the end I will get it all for much cheaper (and don’t even have to pay it for 9 months… hah!) but it can’t be more than $650 shipped.
I already have a monitor and a nice unused winxp disc.
I went on another site and so far I have this

Like any smart buyer... I’m just looking for a second opinion
. Is everything compatible and quality stuff? Is that PSU ok?
Another question is… down the road if I wanted too… could I pop in vista and an 8800 on this system? Or not enough cpu and psu power?
Thanks.
