The components r good ... but you may find it hard to get that gfx card (if you can find it its a good choice) and as you are going for a seperate graphix card, opt for the Krypton NF2400U which is bas e d on an nForce2 ultra chipset and costs less, lackin integrated gfx. Again, these krypton boards are tough to find

Value wise 2600+ is a good option, but several varieties exist, like tbreds, thortons and bartons, so find out which one you are getting. You might want to spend a little more and go for a system based on an athlon 64 2800+ as it would be more future proof and a64 prices will fall soon
