After months of price watching, opinions and just reading up on a bunch of stuff, I've finally built my rig (well, not me personally, a shop, but that still counts, right?)

Anyway, here it is:

(WINDOWS XP)

Please don't comment on the price(s) as it is in NZD and our stuff is expensive.  I know ____.com can do it way cheaper...but chances are they won't even ship here..so please! no comments on the price.  It is very very cheap compared to other places around here.

But anyway, how would you rate this?  I know it isn't top of the line, but I'm planning on games like Half-Life 2, Lord of the rings Online and a couple of others....as well as a lot of music.

Any comments would be appreciated, thanks.

That motherboard is the real sticking point there - only supports DDR2 400 and 533? That's pretty slow - and the RAM you picked out is actually faster than your motherboard can handle. Which isn't a problem, since it will clock itself back automatically, but you might have been able to save some money and picked up DDR2 533 RAM instead.

I would get a case that doesn't include a power supply since you're getting a Silverstone PS.

You might want the motherboards cousin: P5V-VM DH, which has built in wi-fi and a remote.
