Needs more Ram, I got 2gb on my laptop.

pretty decent set up for that price...but like he said, you need more ram

once vista comes out I think 1 gb of ram will become so slow it aint funny. I have 2 gig on my laptop but it seems like the computer knows i have that much and all my programs like to run at full capacity because of all the space.

Well.... for a gaming rig, as much ram as you can get would be best.

And I do highly recommend the Intel Core 2 Duo's (if you haven't ordered ur mobo and cpu yet). C2D's own the gaming community as of now.

Vid Card: Good card. Thats what im running now and im very happy with it.
RAM: Not bad. Upgrade to 2gb or more asap
PSU: Good
Hard Drive: Meh. I have had bad luck with seagate. I would go with a Western Digital Raptor drive if I were you. (more expensive but nice for gaming)
CD Drive: Whatever does the job

PM me if you have any questions.

its not a bad rig.
2 gigs isnt necessary yet. I can run most games on high with a gig.

HD- Dual Seagate 80's for know
1 gig ram

2 gb is necessary. Most games now arent highly dependant on the Vid card. A lot of games are starting to be more dependant on CPU and RAM.

1gb will run fine, but 2 will make things run smoother.
