Well after a few years of this
Athlon XP 1700
1 GB RAM
Ati radeon 9700 Pro 128
MSI VIA motherboard AGP 4x 800 mhz FSB
160 Western Digital DH 7200 rpm

I have upgraded to this, I am a college student so i had a tight budget of a little over 300 dollars. I was able to get most of the parts from students at MIT, i go to BU, in Boston. I wanted to make a mid range system with SLI for another 7600gt in the near future.
The system is not built yet waiting for the mobo to be delivered from newegg.
