    Sounds like a great system. The only recommendations that I would make would include adding a DVD burner, and possibly a bigger harddrive. 80GB is excellent, but unless you plan to upgrade later, you'll want to get the biggest drive possible.

    Impressive machine indeed.
    One thouhgt here:
    How about Sounblaster Audigy series soundcard?
    I know its xpensive but still...
    Spoiler: Show

  4. Software & Hardware   -   #4
    Looks like a good system to me. But if it was me buying it I would get and Intel board with RAMBUS. I would strongly consider getting an Audigy 2 or M-Audio Revolution 7.1 over the live card. Also the memory buy Corsair XMS it is more expensive but probably worth it. Also instead of the Radeon card I would recommend the GeForce 4 Ti4200 or Ti4400. Then you would have an almost perfect system. Better speakers too but all those goodies really add up to a huge bill if you arent careful. And heck as long as the speakers make "sound" its ok right?

    Good luck with your new system it looks good.
