how does that look, and should i change anything??

Well on Newegg you can get XP Home SP2 for 90 Bucks if you buy hardware with it, so you can save like 40-50 bucks right there.

[Kash]

But Home edition sucks........

 

I say spend that extra money for Professional. There ARE noticable differences between the Home and Professional editions of Windows XP

[Ste]

whatever, just trying to save money. And its not a bad deal, so pro is better then XP but how much more does it cost?

[BiPolar]

i'm feeling lazy right now, but i'm pretty sure that the fata1ity board is really over priced for its abilities. I remember a thread about this when it came out.

[Marine]

I have xp home on my old comp and xp pro on m new one and to be honest i don't see any differences...

[Nerm]

TBH I don't think there is an emmense amount of difference between XP home and pro. Also, I would recommend against that abit mobo and suggest like the DFI Ultra-D or MSI nf4 boards.

[Sovek]

not to mention try and save some money, Im building a gaming system for under $1K $2.5K is well over the price limit.

 

another suggestion, buy a 17" from your local salvation army or goodwill for about 20 bucks, that what I did, I have three of em, all for about 60 bucks. work great (cept my Geforce 4 MX400 has issues with one of them.)

well, i want the best monitor within reason, i have a 17inch one and i feel it's a bit too small.
