This is my first build to let everyone know. And yes I know socket 939 is dead but i don't plan on upgrading the CPU. I may upgrade the video card. I'm not ready for Vista or DX 10 so the OS and GPU are fine and i'm fine with 1 GB RAM. I don't really plan to overclock things except the video card.

I have a monitor and my dad just wanted extra speakers.
Now my questions
1) Is the PSU enough for the system with the 7900GS
2) Do I have all the components to be able to put it together boot it up, install Windows and go? I don't need to buy any wires and stuff?
If anyone can built me a Core 2 Duo build with a video card as good as the 7900GS be my guest. Just keep it either at this price or below. Remember my parents are paying for this because my old PC (Dimension 2350) broke. Thank God!
