Great PC, the processor and video card are up to par for the games of today :)
actually im probably better off paying the extra 100 for a SAPPHIRE ATI Radeon X800 PRO Video Card, 256MB GDDR3, 256-Bit, DVI/VIVO, PCI-Express instead of the GeForce
that worth it? heres link http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-465&depa=1
thanks again
Yes, i think its wprth it, but its your choice...
An X800 is the same as the XT if you change the BIOS. I'm not sure where you get the BIOS from though.
Change the graphics card, an maybe get a Athon64 3200...If you plan on gaming alot.
uh...i think 2 gigs of RAM is not needed. why dont you get a 3.4 GHZ P4 with 1 GB RAM so that it would be more balanced out. Nvidia 6800 is a good card. good luck with the purchase 
C38368 is going to recommend, that you get an "OCZ Power supply". There are really good PSUs.
AMD anything is better for the average home user. Cheaper, faster, runs cooler. Not to mention better optimizations for multi-media, particularly 3D. The AMD Athlon XP is a great buy, not as good as an AMD64.
Get the socket 939 AMDs, if you plan on upgrading it later.
Why a 6800GT? 6600s are Big news. SLI is begining to make a splash, and there are dual core 6600GTs on the horizon. Two cards are better than one. The 6800 doesn't support SLI yet.
I think the X800, although a good card, is a bit too expensive.
