...dude! that is one frickin sweet budget build! I mean, you spent money in all the right areas and held back where you needed to...any ideas on future upgrades? lol. I dont think it would hold up to a good round of COD2 though... :P

Shipping was about $40.00 because I got some of the PC from a computer show. No upgrades for awhile because this computer is used by my girlfriend for surfing the web and for her digital camera.

I must say very nice build for a budget...I was lucky to find a lot of deals and rebates for my computer and only spent $800 (that was 6 months ago). I was going to go with the same mobo, but decided not to since its AGP.

Thanks, it's just for the girlfriend to surf the web. She loves it.

The FX5200 would be an area that I would look into upgrading....I owned a 5200 late last year and while it held it's own...it will not handle the demands of newer games (call of duty 2 )

Nice budget build however!!!

The video card is nice. Works nice. It has a heat sink instead of a fan so it's a little more quiet.

Nice, I would have gone with a sempron though.

I wanted a little more performance than the sempron could provide. I'm not a big fan of celerons, durons, or sempron's.
