well it's a pretty good spec. considering the price. only thing i've gotta add is insist for two discrete 128 MB modules and configure them to run in dual channel if the mobo supports it. I'm sure you know of the benifits. A better but pricier option would be to go for two 256 MB modules for a total of 512. But it would do wonders to the responsiveness and the overall performance of the PC. The FX 5200 overclocks pretty well. I had a PC with similar specs and I could play HL2 at medium res and quality with 2XQ antialiasing after overclocking it. The final thing is, if possible, go for a SATA mobo and HDD to ensure a lil bit of future proofing and a bit of extra performance........at an extra price.
