Help building my gaming PC

[Crashex]

Ok, so I guess I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to gaming rigs, anyway, so far, this is what I've got. I also need a moniter. Could anyone tell me if this is a good gaming rig, and what I'm missing please? Also any flaws in my system. Thanks.

if you're buying windows, winxp home is just as good when it comes to gaming... (unless you have pro.. then go ahead and keep it.. )

2 gigs of ram will be enough.

they don't make 4000+ for socket 939.. maybe you mean socket AM2? if so, try to keep everything socket AM2.

anything "Fatal1ty" is generally grossly overpriced...

ya go witha socket AM@ set up. and for a keyboard I would go with a logitech, better deals. Also on the hard drive you can probably get a better deal off of newegg instead of western digital themselves.
