    Looks good, except I'd scale back the RAM to 2gb and get a better video card. The 8500s are good, but personally, I'd go with a 8800 series. Unless you're planning on using a 64bit OS (like Vista X64 or WinXP Pro X64) the 4gb of DDR2 is kind of a waste... save some money on the RAM, and spend it on a better video card. (Just my humble opinion ;) )

    ...and Welcome to MajorGeeks! :major
