The system you configured is okay; I would definately not get that system and get a refurbished Dell Dimension 8300. You definately want dual channel DDR 400 and an 800 Mhz front side bus, an Intel i875P Canterwood chipset that supports the hyperthreading that you chip is capable of, etc.
Then you can get optimal performace for the same price. The system you configured was, what? 675? Single channel RAM? P4 @ 2.2? Not that great, in my humble opinion...

Here is a good alternative:

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
Dimension 8300 (System Identifier EJBBRP9Z)
Dell Dimension 8300 Mini-Tower: Pentium® 4 Processor at 2.6GHz with 800MHz front side bus
System Price $844.00
Promotion Discount ($125.00)
Discounted Price $719.00
Memory: 256 MB DDR 400MHz SDRAM (2 DIMMs)
Floppy Drive: No Floppy Drive

This system comes with software also, but I omitted that because it is trivial.
