Hi guys.Based on THIS forum, and my previous post, and those responses.This is the system that i have now sitting in the shopping cart, just need to enter my Credit Card Number and click.But first: I would like any and all responses.Intel 2.53GHZ MSI Motherboard 845GE MaxL Gforce4 TI4600 Audigy Sound Card 80GB 7200RPM 8mbcache HDD Western DigitalCase - Powersupply 350W LG CDROM 52X 512MB PC266 Floppy Drive Windows XP home NEC FE990 19" Monitor at 50-89mhz at 1024x1280This is what i can afford. My thoughts are the MSI board is upgradeable past the P4 3.06, supports all 3 Ram Speeds. PC2100/2700/3200.Geforce4 Ti4600 128mb...is the second best card avail. The ATI9700 is just way outa my price range this year.Audigy Gamer Sound Card, based on your advice.80gb harddrive..i have another 40gb harddrive avail.Case, i just took the cheapest..if i need more cooling..I can cut it open and screw in a fan..it was 32$ Canadian!!..LOLCdrom, I have a burner already.The Ram..had to compromise on cost, it was either cheaper ram(the PC2100)or something else had to get smaller..Ram i can upgrade it later to PC2700 or PC3200(thats why i love this board!!)Windows XP Home...well i wont use the Pro features, i read up on that..if i need it later,,i can buy the upgrade version.Any Problems with this rig gents???

I think you've put a nice system together. My only suggestion would be to go with the faster RAM -- the price difference is pretty small.Best of Luck!Steven (KCOS)

Ya i thought about the RAM.Going up a notch(sounds like Emeril!!!)DDR266.Thanks for the input. Better be good, its been paid for!!!..LOL
