New Shuttle PC

I want to build a new PC for everyday/mild gaming usage. I want to use a SFF case for the look and basically to have something different. I'm trying to spend as little as possible on this setup and really dont want to spend over 600, but I'm up to around 750 on my estimation so far.
I'm wondering if this is a good setup for the price:

Shuttle XPC SN25P
Athlon 64 939 3200+ Venice
1gb DDR 400
Radeon X600 Pro 256mb

I have HD's and DVDRW to put in it so I'm not worried about that.

I want to run a 64bit Athlon and want a PCI-E graphics card, thus the SN25P. Do you all have any suggestions to make this a better and cheaper setup? Also, will the prices of the graphics cards and processors drop any time soon?

Thanks for any help.
 
The price of PC components is always dropping, and for 600 bucks I would say that you definitly didn't take the first deal you came accross when picking your parts. It's all in how bad you want the stuff man.
 
drop maybe to a 3000 venice, and up the video to aiw x600, so then you can watch tv on your pc as well
 
Yes, a 3000+ should be fine for "mild gaming," for heavy gaming the x600 would be the bottleneck not the CPU. For Office a 2000+ would be fine.
 
There is a rumored AMD price drop for July but not sure if
u want to wait that long. You may want an X700 (OEM) for some extra
oomph. XPC prices tend to drop very slowly but the SN25P can
be had for $389 less $30 MIR giving you abt $241 for CPU, vid card
and RAM so you $600 budget maybe hard to reach.
