I give it a 7. I like 3200 ram but kingston is a pretty good choice. I'd definately get a bigger drive mainly because I fill 40's up too fast. I'd get a new video card too, which you're gonna do, so that's good. Wish I had cash for a x800....I run a lot of Neons and I have 9 fans in my case and lights and black light and UV rounded IDE cables and my 400 watt power supply barely has enough juice to boot the computer when I run only 3 fans, no lights, no cdrom or burner. The bare minimum and sometimes it won't boot because it doesn't have enough power after my 9800 pro was purchased. That card with the Artic Cooler drains the power.
