Me like. Though the included Power Supply is like having no power supply (except worse since it can fry your system).

I likey also, though you could get the MSI K8N NEO4-F for 80 dollars which would be way more better

THe power supply is decent compared to others. Though you could get another one.

Everything else looks awesome

Do not read if you are not Green Radience >>>>>>>>>>>cough GR get on AIM cough cough*** WINK WINK PLEASE

You could get a better video card for about $20 more(if you get from newegg and use their rebate) You can get the HIS X1800GTO for $208 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161012

other than that, looks good, go with PZEROFGH's suggestion on the MSI board too

nope the 7600gt is onpar with the x1800gto, go look at tomshardware benches. in some tests one has higher frames than the other and vice versa.

Why don't you just link the page where you got everything from so everyone can read the reason behind the build?

The power supply on that Antec case is good(smart power series), you dont need a new one..not for that system

I have an Antec Smartpower 500w....never had any problems? DIdn't think Antec made any crappy power supplies.
