Thank you everyone for all your great input, here is what i ended up ordering:

$80 AMD XP 2500
$82 Abit NF7-S V2
$158 Corsair 2x512 DDR400 PC3200
$209 MSI 9800PRO - 128MB 256-bit
$100 Samsung 160GB ATA/133 SP1614N
$85 NEC CD/DVD +/- RW ND-2510A
$475 NEC|17"LCD LCD1760NX

all wrapped in the $79 Antec SLK3700-BQE case

and finally $30 for Far Cry

Total price with discounts is $1333 delivered. Only thing missing is keyboard and speakers.

I would have gotten the High Tech video card in stead of the MSI, but they were out of stock at NewEgg and I wanted to order everything from one place.

You should have a nice little system there! Makes me want to build a new one for myself again.

Good monitor choice, too. I bought one for my wife's system when her CRT died a year and a half ago. Completely trouble free.

That Corsair RAM should more than satisfy your gaming needs

my only change would be for a mobile athlon XP
