Hi, a friend of mine that's currently using a HP PIII has finally decided to upgrade. Office, Poker, CD & DVD burning is probably what he'll be using it for. Here's a list of build items. I know, I should probably have AM2 instead of 939. The total is $501 and some change. Does it look okay? Am I missing anything besides monitor/XP?
