Well, I don't know if anyone really checks this site any longer. However, I figured I would post this anyhow.
I am finally looking to build a new pc, after 10 years of the old one!!!!!!! I am trying to stay under $650 including the OS. (Before tax and shipping) However, I do want to be able to run all current games, which I believe this system will do just fine. I also want to be able to easily upgrade in a couple years. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hey David, if you can swing it, I would recommend upgrading your vid card to the 5800 series. Its quite a jump and not too much of a price difference.

Wow dude, looks like a really solid rig. If you get back into gaming, me n' Frank have been playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 a lot, it's a pretty solid shooter. Just a quick note about your setup though - you're probably fine with onboard sound, but I find that a dedicated sound card makes a world of difference. I get clearer, amplified sound from my speakers and my input/mic quality is way better. Aside from that... Hopefully we can get together and frag sometime.
