What do you think of this?

[JDurante]

I will soon be building my first Desktop PC. These are the details...

AMD Athlon64 x2 3800
ABIT AN8 ATX AMD Mobo
Barracuda 7200.8 250GB SATA HDD
Patriot Signature Series 2x512MB DDR SDRAM
Antec Sonata II Case w/ 450 W PSU
Creative Soundblaster Live! 7.1 Channel 24 Bit Sound Card
ATI Radeon x600 XT 128MB DDR PCI/e Video Card
Netgear 108Mbps Wireless Network Card
NEC DVD Dual Layer Burner (IDE)
Logitech Slim Wireless Desktop S500 w/ Media Remote

Total Price = $914.45
(I already have a 19" LCD Monitor)

I am not a big gamer, do you think this is a good system for the price??? Most of the parts are from Newegg. I have not made any purchases yet so if you have ANY suggestions, please please please let me know

Thanks!

Well according to Logitech, it not possible to find yer slim desktop S500 thingy and i dont spec keyboards

- AMD Athlon64 X2 4200 [S939, Manchester, ADA4200DAA5BV]($400)
- MSI RX480 Neo2F($72)
- PNY Optima 2x512 [CL2.5]($68.99 after $15MIR)
- Maxtor MaxLineIII 250GB [16MB]($96.26)
- Soundblaster Audigy2 Value($40 after $25MIR)
- Antec Sonata II + 450W [12V@32A]($93.99)
- USR 5417 125MBs PCI Wireless($24.99 after $20MIR)
- Sapphire X700Pro($94)
SUBTOTAL = $890.23

Options
- Replace the X700Pro with the MSI X800Pro [$107 after $30MIR] for a final price of $903.23 (I strongly reccomend this upgrade, for a $13 you get a significant performance boost)
- Replace the X700Pro with the Sapphire X1600Pro 512MB [$149] for a final price of $945.23 ... you can also consider the normal 256MB model for a net price of $925.23
- Replace the motherboard with the ASUS A8R-MVP [$139] for a net price of $957.23


EDIT
Heheh seems I forgot the optical drive, you can get the NEC 3550A [$37.99] for a net base price of $928.22 (adjust the option prices accordingly). Yes that over the cost of your box but mine will run circles around ya
