its decent .. u may want to get a case without a psu and go alittle bigger and get a sli ready one ... u may want to consider a sli board .. and u may run into issues detecting 4 gigs of ram unless u have vista ultimate .. if u have xp limit urself to 3gigs .. and 2 would be fine imo with xp ..

All is fine, except for the memory, as Windows 32bits (XP and Vista ) cant address 4GB correctly, you will be wise to get either 2GB or 3GB in dual channel. I have seen some 4GB run a bit slower than 2/3GB by a small margin.
Unless you go 64bit

Looks good, I would love to have that machine lol. Might want to get 2gb of ram instead of 4 because xp doesnt use all of it maybe 64bit xp and vista but then again your choice. Good luck on the build.

Hi. That sounds great... for now. Look for a Blu-ray burner for the near future.
