Seems to be pretty decent parts. Why only 256MB RAM and at CD-ROM?

The Case got a pretty good review at tomshardware.

i got 2 256 sticks of ram and i will buy my dvd player after i get my computer going monday or tuesday i forgot to put i had two sticks of ram sorry

You should have got just 1 stick of Corsair PC2700 512mb ram. Woulda been better than 2 256 stix. Good job on picking corsair though. :0) Got a bad graphics card. The FX series bombed except for the GeForceFX 5900Ultra. Well I'm sure that it will run fine. Nice comp though. Have fun with it. :0)

ok thanks i should have got 1 stick of ram it would have been better

I disagree with MitaDC. You have an nforce2 motherboard daniel, and they work better with 2 sticks of ram, especially in dual channel mode. You dont have a "bad" graphics card. It is very stable. But you could have picked up a better one for around the same price. In a year or 2 when you start thinking about upgrading, put that on top of your priorities list. Its a wonderful comp, and I'm sure your gonna have a lot of fun with it!

are you an avid gamer? if so i would suggest getting a different video card.
