I posted a couple of topics already about the P4 650 and started to really evaluate the purpose of this build, GAMING. I decided that an AMD can handle anything that I would be doing with a P4 with little or no noticable difference in running applications, correct me if I'm wrong. But the reason I started looking to build was for gaming.
Check out this setup. And yes I took out a loan. (I'm not rich)

Optical drive:

For a monitor I can't ship anything bigger than a 17" to an FPO address. I really want a 19" or bigger. I'm going to look for one here locally. A 19" CRT would do me real well. If anyone can recomend an lcd for gaming that would be great too.
Also I need a good CPU cooler since I will probably overclock this one.
Any way, what do you think? Are there any issues that I may have overlooked?
