NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 (256 MB) Graphics Card
80 GB Seagate Hardrive (the only thing left to update is get a new 120GB HDD)

I have also bought a new optical mouse, black keyboad and black 17" Dell Moniter this last year!

Nice rig Jester Thumbs Up! I think the price is fair too. PSU 550W should do the job for a while. Unfortunately, as RadarMan already pointed out, they gave you a CD- instead of a DVD-Burner.
Don't get too upset about that though, that's what they do. Anyway, DVD-Burners are very cheap by now and I'm sure your case will acommodate a second drive - always handy.

Congratulations and enjoy Cheers!

I think the Radeon ATI X800 is supposed to be a good card. I believe RM and FEM have that card (could be wrong) so they may be able to advise you Wink
