Well i'd say its a good machine
of course a better video card wouldnt hurt, but still 2gb of ram would definately suffice, you have a fast hard drive so thats good
Im guessing your getting a dvd burner as well?
And even most games would run fine on that pc anyway
How much is it all up?

- Yay 99 posts lol

the only game that i will play anyway is tactical ops thats about it.

what kind Video card do you think should i buy?

it all Adds up to about $600 which Ain't Too bad You would probably pay about $1000 if you want a commputer that has all that in it.

There is 2 thing I would point out:

1- Having a Micro-ATX Motherboard with a PCI Sound Card and PCI TV Tuner won't leave a lot of space for expansion... depending on what you are doing with this computer.

2- I really don't like SiS chipset. Mainly used in low quality & cheap computers...


Anyway, it depend a lot on the price if you want a better opinion.

Well first of i'm guessing that MoBo isnt PCI Xpress
I would go for a ATi 9800 if your going to buy something new
I have an ATi 9550 256mb and it runs good but the 9800 is alot better

Radeon® 9800 technology is available in five product configurations built by ATI: Radeon® 9800 XT, Radeon® 9800 PRO 256MB, Radeon® 9800 PRO 128MB,Radeon® 9800 128MB and Radeon® 9800 LE 128MB.

As a computer builder of 25 years, I'd have to vote NO.

The smaller the mobo the less expandability you'll have.
Usually, the very small mobo's are of less quality too.

P4's don't perform nearly as well as AMD's and are more expensive and draw more power and create more heat. There's really no Up-Side for a P4.

Kingston RAM would be my very last choice (with a gun to my head).
Most of it is refurbished ram. About 80% will fail testing on lab-standard equipment.
It may work at first, but fail under heavy load later on.
Get Micron or Samsung, major on major (Major brand chips on major brands wafers)

On the plus side, the SATA HD is a good choice. It can do data transfer at about ten times that of an IDE drive.

Fall back,,,,regroup,,,,and try again!

Cheers,
B)

It's fairly nice, but I'd suggest an AMD CPU and a bigger motherboard.
