Case

Power Supply

MotherBoard

Processor

Video Card

Hard Drive X2

Optical Drive X2

CPU Cooler

Ram/Memor X2 (4GB total)

Sound Card

And Windows XP. All together would cost me around 1500. Any comments suggestions? Anything I should upgrade/downgrade?

How about something more powerful in the 600-700 watt range. I'm planing to SLI in the future.

I say it's a very nice pc, about the hard drive it's a very subjective thing, while other people find that one hard drive is enough, others may find that having more than one has it's advantages, i'm more of the latter one, I have 4 HDD (like to keep a lot of things in my hdds, Kudos buddy, cool pc:P

Haha, thanks. I only have 2.1 though, so I wasn't planing on spending much on a sound card.
