ok, but tagan isn't that bad is it? it's european (i think) and costs like $150. so it has to be good 
and also it allows you to remove excess cables that aren't being used.
moving on, should i opt for 2gb of ram? or a faster cpu?
my biggest concern is that the ps3 or even the xbox 360 will be faster and better than this system...

Tagan is good....but you can have that quality cheaper if you want. It's a solid brand but you dont HAVE to spend that much. Your call.

Faster cpu will give you better performance....money should be spent in this order for games....gpu, cpu, ram. 2GB of ram is nice, but it will give you a 1-3% increase and sometimes none. using that same $80-$100 you can go up one maybe two cpu levels (depending on where you start...lol) and that could give you as much as 15% and at the very least 5%.
the 5% min for cpu beats the 3% max for ram....see my point?
