Welcome to the forums :) looks like that'll be a decent pc except for the video card, I bet that cost a bundle compared to what you could have gotten putting it together yourself though :)

Wow 4 gigs of RAM huh? You prepping for Vista or something 64 bit? :lol: Nice comp though man that'll be blazing fast, especially once you pop a new video card in it. How much did you fork over for that?

consensus so far says nvidia 7900 gt

[Animegears]

Yeah the 7900GT is a good card for the money you pay. It will handle pretty much everything out there right now and will handle most of the newer things. You may want to upgrade it after a year or two though.

I concur :P
