    Do yourself a favor and either spend the money on a higher end video card or look to the ATI 9600 series. That Nvidia card is not worth the money. As I'm sure everyone else here will tell you.

    Otherwise, everything looks good. Don't know much about Albatron but I haven't heard anything negative so...

    I've been living with 20 gb for the last two years, though I just got a new computer with 120 gb space.

    Try <a href='http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-170-048&depa=0' target='_blank'>this card</a> instead of the 5700.

    That cpu should last you for quite a while. No problem.

    It's alrite. It'll do. For a budget PC, that's pretty good.

    Get a 9600XT, I got mine from newegg about two months ago for $150, so the price is probably lower now. The card seriously owns, esp. for $150 bucks. I can play doom 3 at 800x600 high quality at anywhere from 20-60 fps (20 being heavy heavy fighting). And I have a 2700+, 512 DDR pc3200 ram.

    The FX series blow hardcore.

    Yup, i agree. I have filled just under 200Gb, im buying another 160Gb drive in a week or 2. Heh.

    Stay nVidia, Ati are sucky. Even though ATI's out perform nVidia at the moment i find they are much better all round. And you can update the drivers to give more boost, and they are damn good for over clocking

    5700 sucks (worse than geforce4), if you're going to get nvidia get 5700 ultra.

    nah, not porn (well, not most of it)

    more illegal stuff.

    also, video games are starting to take up alot of room these days. At around a gig and half, that is rather expensive in storage room <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
