    Not bad, other than that gfx card lol....
    Summit like a 6800GT (or 6600 if you're on a budget) would do nice :D

    Personally i'd push for an MSI K8N Neo 2 motherboard and go for a 6600 GT. Everything else is fine, if you're overclocking, make sure you get a Winchester core.

    yah id really go for a different approach if it was me

    get a wwhinny 3000+ 939
    nf4 pci express mobo
    pci express 6600GT

    and some decent ram

    wont cost alot more but will clock like a bitch and u will be a great games platform

    the 5200 is a joke avoid it.

    That's what I just ordered. Still waiting but I know it will perform. Although I got an SLI mobo for the future when the hole in my wallet is repaired.

    i'd have to say an mx440 is better than the 5200. thn again, the bottleneck could get bigger. How about a riva2 in there? or a geforce 256?
