It is exactly the same as a 4200 but 200mhz slower (can be matched with a simple overclock.)

corsair is great ram people.

connect30 graphics i don't think is good though.

 

[The General]

Connect3D : ATi :: eVGA : nVidia

 

[Trifid]

That sound card will be useless. Either get a good one or use on board.

Also good ATI card manufactureers are HIS, Sapphire and Connect3d (I think I would go that order too.) I prefer BFG to eVGA for Nvidia.
