Ok guys. This is the quote from Newegg.com. Any comment? Any suggestion is welcome. Feel free to criticise. One thing I'm not very sure about is the Graphics card. But I can't afford anything more than $70 dollars. As it is, I've overshot my budget. I'm still thingking about the monitor. Any suggestions here? Newegg is charging $28 for the above stuff for shipping. I'm going to order these stuff either today or tomorrow. Any better deal than this?. Anywhere I can cut corners? Please comment.

If you're not going to do any harcore gaming then its fine. The graphics card should suit you fine for basic needs.

it all depends if you are are a gamer or not. got example, if you plan on gaming, you can go amd and have a more balanced system:

2500+: $90 (save $70)
8rda+: $79 (save $50)
512 buffalo pc3200 $89 (save 38)

thats $160 MORE you can spend on a video card (230 total)

with that $230 you can practically snag a 9800 NON Pro which would make it a more balanced gaming system.

Of course, the system is fine as is if you dont plan on gaming

Shady, I couldn't agree with you more.
