A local computer shop here in Central FL has this setup for sale:

ULTRA WIZARD MIDTOWER ATX CHASSIS
500 WATT ULTRA POWER SUPPLY
MSI K9N4 ULTRA-F MAINBOARD
AMD ATHLON 64 X2 4600+ DUAL CORE PROCESSOR
2 GB DDR2 667 MEMORY
250 GB 7200 RPM SATA II HARD DRIVE
18X DUAL LAYER DVD BURNER
256 MB NVIDIA GEFORCE 7600 GT PCI-E GRAPHICS CARD
5.1 CHANNEL INTEGRATED AUDIO
10/100/1000 GIGABIT ETHERNET CONTROLLER
WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM FULL OEM W/CD AND COA
KEYBOARD, MOUSE, & SPEAKERS
1 YEAR PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY

For $799 USD.

The computer I used for gaming now, I got from these guys. For the most part it's been trouble free, except for the occasional hitch. I've had it for almost three years now. Plays all the games I want it to, being BF2, WoW, and StarCraft. I'm not really interested in any of the newer games out now, but come Crysis and other DirectX10 games down the road I'm going to need a new computer.

What do you guys think of the price and parts/performance of that thing? I know the video on it isn't DirectX10, but that can be upgraded later.

Is PCI-E going to remain the standard or is something else comming along? RIGHT when I got my last PC (it's AGP video), PCI-E came up and I've had to sit with my Geforce 6800 Regular since.

Thanks for the input.

The 7600 is a bit slow, and windows vista is the most useless piece of junk I've ever had ( I'm using it on my laptop :( )

Otherwise, seems a.. decent price.
