How does this look for a budget PC..

Video Card will be replaced with a 9600XT for roughly the same price

Saphire any good?..

HDD will be replaced with a Seagate 120gig 8mb Cache $100
so +$30

we might drop the floppy and the modem..

Looks good...yeah, dial up modem?

Sapphire is good...my 9800p is a Sapphire. Matter of fact...the majority of ATI Retail cards sold in the US market are made by Sapphire. So I always laugh out loud at those who say "Don't buy a Sapphire...they suck, instead purchase right from ATI direct...they're better"

again

Great mobo
Best bang for buck CPU out there today
Great power supply

I guess this is the only reply I'm getting..

YeOSC seems to agree as well...I guess that's good enough

damn, that's a BUDGET system?

perfect in my opinion. That's pretty close to my setup, except for the hard drives and I'm running a AIW. yo might want to check out the aiw because the price difference is pretty small considering what you're getting.

TWO THUMBS UP!

Looks good to me. About the best you can get for sub $1k with the exception of waiting for the next Dell rebate deal.
