Get 2 gig of memory for that price, and assuming your a gamer an MX-518 or Razer Diamondback would be a MUCH better choice

XFX video cards are shat and you should get eVGA, Leadtek or BFG

And that LCD screen maybee big, but no good for gaming at at all

 

[Sicarius]

That is two gigs of memory isn't it? Two(2): Corsair XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit. Making 4 512 Mb sticks.

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

Oh okay, but you could get better memory

 

[Sicarius]

Like what? Also, how's this?
monitor? I also changed to a eVGA GPU.

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

Not going to cut it for games, you want an 8ms response

Dear Lord... For the last time, will people here stop branding XFX as "Shat". They make quality cards, end of.

Sicarius: If you've got the extra cash and you're going to go for the XFX 7800 GTX(s), get the overclocked 'Extreme Edition'.

I can't find an LCD TV at newegg with 8ms. other than this huge 37-inch one. How important is the 8ms?

You know, you could also add in a cheap 19" CRT and use that for gaming
