okay well for christmas my GF has agreed to get me a new machine as my current is over 4 years old and while its still not a bad machine i cant play stuff with high settings and even on midrange it can get choppy also im not stupid enough to pass up a new comp lol but only thing is need to keep at under 1500 preferably under 1400 and i still want to be able to play almost any game coming out i currently play WoW and CSS will be getting F.E.A.R
soon but here is the machine i pieced together on HP (i checked dell and a similar system is more epensive and the vid card is turbo cache only)

Networking 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN PCI Card
Graphics Card 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7500LE, TV-Out, DVI, VGA
Sound Card Sound Blaster Audigy 4, 24-bit ADVANCED HD Audio
i deleted the stuff that is irrelavent but from what i read about the 7500le on HP site it doesnt rely on tubro cache it has actual 256MB memory but can use up to 500megs of system memory i cant even find this card on the nvidia website either everything else seems okay to me (the board has 4 ram slots so i can upgrade to 4gig ram later but its +$250 at the moment so i can wait on that im playing on 750mg right now)
there is a $200 dollar vid card upgrade ($200 from what i have selected now)
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT, HD , TV-out, 2 DVI
im never gonna run multiple monitors so i dont care about the DVI
i mean if i knock the processor down to a 1.8ghz i could probably swing the extra for the higher vid card but would it be worth it??
will this setup allow me to play most games at high settings?? or at least mid settigns with NO lag or hang ups?
