New system, your comments before I order....

[Greenwald]

Ok here's what I put together;

- P2.53 533 Northridge retail w/fan
- Epox EP-4G4a+
- Samsung Original DDR333 PC-2700 512mb CAS2.5 - OEM Version
- WESTERN DIGITAL "SPECIAL EDITION" 120GB 7200RPM
- LEADTEK|GF4 TI4200BK 128M VIVO
- SAMSUNG 1.44MB FLOPPY DRIVE Model#SFD321B/LEB
- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition - OEM
- MaxTop Silver CSX-770KLB (silver/blue) 350W psu
- Phillips Siesmic Edge SC

On top of these parts, I'll add parts from my current system:
- Maxtor 30g 7200 hd
- WD 80G 7200 hd
- TDK 12/10/32 CDRW

I"ll get everything from NewEgg (except the SC). So what do ya think? Would I be better off with a PNY GF4 TI4200 64mb video card? I don't do any gaming. It'll be for home use, apps and video editing. I will probably overclock a little. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance.

Anybody?? I'd like to hear what you think. Oh yeah, I'm not sure what video card to get. I was thinking either the PNY GF4 TI4200 64mb or the Leadtek version with 128 mb. I don't do any gaming, just regular apps and video editing (video in through firewire). Thanks in advance.

Looks good!

I'd stick with a quality Ti4200 128MB. The price difference from the 64MB models is negliglible, but the performance difference is there at higher resolutions. Then again, since you say you aren't a gamer ... you might be better off with a $30 Radeon LE or something.
