New Computer

Hey you guys and gals, building a new computer and just posting the specs I'm probably going to get, see what you all think of them and suggestions:

- Intel® P4 3.2GHz E (800FSB) Box CPU W/ MSI PT880-LSR Motherboard
- Geil 1GB PC3200 400MHz 2-64x64 Value Dual Channel DDR Memory 184Pin - Model #GE1G3200BDC - Lifetime Warranty
- Seagate 200GB ST3200822A-RK UATA100 8MB Buffer - Retail Hard Drive Kit
- Hercules Muse 5.1 DVD SoundCard
- MGE Gamer M1 450W ATX Case
- VisionTek XTASY 256MB AGP Video Card with RADEON 9600 3D Chip OR Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb
- MEMOREX 8x DVD-R & 8x DVD+R DUAL DVD±RW DRIVE
- MEMOREX 52X CD-RW/ 16X DVD-ROM COMBO DRIVE (only because it costs as much as a regular CD-ROM and its silver goes with the case)
- MEMOREX RF WIRELESS KEYBOARD/MOUSE
- 56K PCI V.90 Fax Modem

Still trying to decide on the video card, my freind has a 9800 Pro and he runs Doom3 and FarCry very well...anyhow going to go to Fry's and shop around...
Oh and I'll probably buy a 3-peice speaker set havent really researched that yet...anyhow..Bye!

Dude, you rock! How much are you paying for this monster?

Well, after searching through numerous sources mainly Outpost.com these are the prices:

- Intel® P4 3.2GHz E (800FSB) Box CPU W/ MSI PT880-LSR Motherboard - 199.99
- Geil 1GB PC3200 400MHz 2-64x64 Value Dual Channel DDR Memory 184PinModel #GE1G3200BDC - Lifetime Warranty - 139.99
- Seagate 200GB ST3200822A-RK UATA100 8MB Buffer - Retail Hard Drive Kit - 119.99 + 60 rebate = 59.99
- Hercules Muse 5.1 DVD SoundCard - 19.99
- MGE Gamer M1 450W ATX Case - 59.99
- VisionTek XTASY 256MB AGP Video Card with RADEON 9600 3D Chip - 149.99 OR Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb - 159.99
- MEMOREX 8x DVD-R & 8x DVD+R DUAL DVD±RW DRIVE - 79.99
- MEMOREX 52X CD-RW/ 16X DVD-ROM COMBO DRIVE (only because it costs as much as a regular CD-ROM and its silver goes with the case) - 32.99
- MEMOREX RF WIRELESS KEYBOARD/MOUSE - 69.99
- 56K PCI V.90 Fax Modem - 14.99

The processor and the harddrive (especcially if you have a Fry's around you area) is an awesome deal and so is the combo drive anyhow..the total is around $888 plus tax which is pretty good considering a Dell, HP, or Sony with these specs would be atleast twice more expensive.

Only thing I would say is to go with the 9800 for sure if its a gaming rig.
