Yeah, I know some of you will dislike some of these parts, but most of them I picked for reasons of my own. The speakers, are supposed to be that type that can throw sound so it sounds like its comming from somewhere else... anyone know what thats called? I plan to upgrade the video card and upgrade to PCI-E later on, when 512's that are meant for gaming come out and PCI-E performs better than it does today. To me, its just not worth it right now.

All in all, I'm very happy with what I ordered. :) :up:

I already bought an AGP card, and got it for half off! Since I got such a great deal on a vcard, I got the best, most newest mobo I could get my hands on. That mobo just came out a few weeks ago. When I see better results from PCI-E, and 512 cards are being produced and I can get one at a fair price, then I'll move up to a PCI-E board and vcard.

With this set up I can get +80 fps in FarCry, and thats all I need right now. ;)
