Here, in US dollars, is what the system would cost if I were to build it myself. All prices were shopped for and will slightlyy vary. I mostly buy online, ebay, newspaper rebates or at computer shows. I prefer the Pentium over the AMD...Quote:

So you did GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I assume that you will use the onboard audio. But you need some decent speakers (w/ center bass), so add $30.00USD
Then add $200.00 for XP Home. I can get XP Pro for $150.00USD at special computer shows.
Nice deal, though I see an update within a year (hard drive and video card :( )
Just get xp corporate of kazaa (one is pinned in verifieds, or get corporate in "verified hashes").

Ya i already have win xp home
A processor I'd go for now is a P4 2.66GHz.
The hard drive is kind of limited as well, a 40GB is a mimimum, but others are considering 120, 160, 180 and 200GB HDDs.
You need a DVD-ROM and perhaps a CD-RW.
The video card seems fine :).
the mx440 is ok, but in benchmarks, it's actually on a par with a geforce 3 (like i have) :(
it's good for general use, but for gaming it's a little weak
