Hey there, this is my first post on these forums, though i do lurk on the on occation. The situation is this, my old computer (XP2500, radeon 9600) just suffered a motherboard meltdown, and since its such an old computer i've decided not to fix it. So i'm looking to get a new gameing system. I've put together a setup from a local computer stores build a system site and i'd like some comments as to what people think i could improve on.
