That looks good, but I don't see an optical drive on the list. That shouldn't add more than $25 to the total, though. (unless you have a spare you were going to use)

I've got Elemental pre-ordered and am looking forward to playing it. I think I'll pass on Mafia II, though. (not really my kind of game)

- FX 5200
- FX 5700LE
- Radeon 9600 PRO
- 6800GT
- X1900GT
- 8800 GTS 512

My favorite was probably the 8800 GTS 512, because it vented the heat out the back of the case.

A tough choice, but I have to go with Kotor.

I averaged about 279 after 10 attempts.

My first gaming PC that I bought for myself had:

- P4 2.4GHz
- 1 GB ram
- 40GB Hard drive
- GeForce FX5200

The majority of it was a Compaq pre-built and I added 512mb of ram and the 5200.

1680x1050 unless it is an older game that doesn't support widescreen resolutions.

Anyone excited about it. I am. It's style, over the top and cartoony graphics, is a bit downside, though.

I have heard it has light/dark point system, like in the previous one. Does this mean you can become sith when being jedi and vice versa? I'm not sure what it means since I have just started playing knights of the republic for the first time (excellent game so far).

Nohtnym

Basically you pick a class which is associated with one of the two factions, Republic or Sith Empire. In the case of the jedi knight (a Republic class), you will never cease to be a jedi no matter how light or dark you go. If you "fall to the dark side" as a jedi you simply become a dark jedi for the Republic side. So to put it in a nutshell: your class and faction remain the same despite your relative alignment (light/dark).

The KC Chiefs are my favorite team.

I get those scam messages every once in a while. The funniest ones ask for accounts on games that I have never played before.
