Man that ram will be expensive as hell. That's where your money is going, definitely. If you want to spend that much, I'd get a better video card. That FX is roughly the power of a GeForce 4 TI4200. Everything else seems to be decent though; it's not as nice as a completely custom built PC but it's close. I ordered my PC on Saturday and it should be here tomorrow.

<LI>Gigabyte Mobo, 8x AGP, supports up to Athlon XP 3200+, On-board AC 97 Sound, Onboard RealTek Network Port
<LI>Athlon XP 2500+ Barton (Overclocking freak CPU, 1.8 GHz)
<LI>512 MB of CAS 2.5 SimpleTech RAM (PC2700)
<LI>eVGA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256 MB
<LI>40 GB Maxtor 7200 RPM HDD
<LI>Samsung 52x24x52 Burner
<LI>Samsung Floppy
<LI>Generic Beige Case 400w PSU (I hate fancy cases)
<LI>GlobalWIN SuperSilent CPU Fan/Heatsink
</UL>

The total on that PC was $790.00 from NewEgg. I already have a mouse/keyboard/speakers that work great. You can use the PC that I ordered as comparison; that's roughly how much you'd pay for a nice custom built PC. Overall, I'd say your PC is a pretty decent deal, especially compared to most PC-building places.
