1gb (2*512) proformence OCZ
256 mb saphire x800GTO
120GB Serial ATA
Benq dw 1640

any suggestions?

Alright, let the editing begin. First off, not only does that case look ugly as all hell, but the PSU that comes with it sucks. Spend a little extra and geta decent PSU. For the motherboard...you could save some cash here, get a EPoX EP-9NPA+, which is not only $30 cheaper, but just as good of a motherboard in my opinion. The CPU you have here is fine. Get 2GB of Value RAM instead of 1GB of performance stuff and save more cash. Hard drive is a good size, just make sure its a good brand...I reccomend Seagate. Now, remember that cash we've saved by getting cheaper but equally as good parts? Now we use that money and put it toward a 7800GT, and ta-da! We have ourselves a nice computer.

[EDIT] Another option is to get the EVGA 7800GT/Motherboard combo package, which will get you a EVGA SLI motherboard which is actually quite good.

I agree with this completely, check it out. I also am curious about what brand hard drive you are actually considering it doesn't say in your item list.
