a waste of money?

case: Aspire x-gear 420wt
mobo: Asus P5RD1-VM ATX chipset
cpu: Pentium D 920
hdd: Western Digital 80gb 7200rpm 8mb SATA
ram: Corsair XMS 1gb ddr400
vid: ati x1800 GTO pci-e
$810
plus flatscreen-wireless card and everything else needed to run it (i.e. mouse)

cost: $1125 US dollars

A)Will it run well?
B)is it worth the money (remember includes everything needed to run it...)
C)what would you buy instead for the price (if anything)

This is for gaming and the athlon64 X2 3800 or higher would be the only athlons i would consider changing too due to performace reasons.

Any suggestions on what you would change would be appreciated.

If I were going to spend 300 dollars on a Opteron shouldn't I get the athlon 64 x2 3800 instead. and i was trying to keep it in the same price range as the Pent D 920. i was even considering dropping down to the D 820 and the ati x800 gto to save* some more cash...

do a search there are many many many many many threads pertaining to this question or very similar questions. It would only take 5-10 mins of research and you might be amazed that learning something is better than being told what to buy

HDD: Could go bigger and get a better Capacity/Price Ratio.
Video Card: Is that a ATi or nVidia chipset? If it is ATi then get a x1800xt, if nVidia then 7600GT.
PSU: ???? Fortron 450W
