sub-$1000 sys

[Kristjan]

I need sub-$1000 full system /wo keyboard (thats the only thing that will be transfered to my new system).

Probably buying it in one week. I'll be away for a few days, maybe I can get some reccomendations on brands, models and shops where to buy things from.

Perfect system would be something like that:

Case/PSU: Not that important...
CPU: Sempron 3100+
Motherboard: Socket 754.
Sound card: Maybe M-Audio Audiophile.
HDD: ~80GB
GFX card: GeForce 6600 GT
RAM: 1gig would be perfect.
OS: XP Home Edition.
Monitor: Samsung 172X is my dream right now. 17", LCD, 12ms response time.
DVD-RW drive.
Speakers: Klipsch?

Purpose: Some gaming, web design.

Thx, Kristjan
