Buying A New PC

[TidusTheCoolest]

I'm going to buy a new PC soon .
This is it's spec :

AMD Athlon XP 2200+
MSI MS-6590 KT4 Ultra Via KT400 Motherboard
80GB Maxtor (7200 rpm)HDD
512 MB Kingston (PC 3000) DDR RAM
128 MB MSI GeForce 4Ti 4400
17" Samsung 753dfx (flatscreen) digital color monitor
Sony 48x24x48x CD-RW
Sony 16x DVD Drive
Creative Sound Blaster Live Digital Entertaintment 5.1
Altec Lansing ACS4 5.1 Speaker
Windows XP Home Edition

It's gonna cost me around U$ 1000

Is it a good system or not ?

I'm going to buy this PC because my old PC can't even run No One Live Forever 2 .


I don't want to upgrade my old PC cos I'm gonna set a LAN network with my new PC !

Seems good to me. What will you use it for - games, dvds? If you want games and multimedia try and get a Radeon 9700 Pro graphics card and a Creative Audigy sound card.

Why not just upgrade parts of your old system - ie save keyboard, monitor etc. Could save you $

Sony drives are a bad choice. Also, Samsung monitors have lately dropped in quality (some of them whistle in standby mode).
