get windows xp home instead of pro and get corsair value ram instead of the fancy stuff. save a bunch of money right there and use it to step up your video card to a 7800gt. will run games alot better and xp pro is basicly just overpriced 99% of the planet wouldnt need anything pro has that home dosnt. and spend $30-40 on a sound card very important if you plan to play any games because onboard sound takes power away from your cpu and ram that should be used other places. not to mention even a cheap sound card will sound much better then the on board stuff. no idea why you would need or want a floppy drive anymore. i havnt used one since i had a 486 but for the price whatever. spend another $30-$40 on the hard drive and get a 250gig. 80gig fills up way too fast. and i would get at least 1 more fan for in the case. should always have both a intake and a exhaust fan its only a few dollars and its worth it in the end. i personaly use a 120mm exhaust fan and 2 80mm intakes and a air port right over the cpu.
