Looks great to me, except I'm partial to the ATI 8500. How much will this system run you and are you getting a monitor?

Well then I guess it sounds pretty good. I'm gonna get the same mobo for xmas and I'm getting a geforce3 ti200. Anyone know the performance difference between 5400 rpm hdds and 7200? That's the only thing that looks questionable to me.

if you have your OS on a 5400 rpm hd it will load slower..... 7200 rpm hds just load faster really... they run a little hotter but that's not a big deal... i personally buy only 7200 rpm hds
