[u7412369]

hey guys

i was planning on buying a desktop, but now i'm definitely thinking of building. i already have a screen, keyboard, mouse, etc.

i dont need any extreme parts that can play the games of tomorrow - altough i do plan on gaming (just dont need the newest parts and all that). i have $950, maybe $1000. can you recommend me parts?

Asus A5B or Gigabyte DS-3 motherboard ($120)
2 gigs Patriot DDR2-800 RAM ($245) This is the one with micron chip
Segate 7200.10 320gig hdd ($90)
Antec P180 ($70 from outpost)
GeForce 8800 GTS (around $345 from dell)
Enahance 500 watt psu ($70 from ewiz)

Get eVGA 7900 GS 256mb card for $120 instead.
