well small correction.. 2800+ is also gud enuff with a asus K8N mobo!that reduces ur cost greatly(bout 10K 2gether).. also a FX5700 (non LE bout 4.7K)is decent.. cos 6600 still costs bout 11-12K optical drive u can settle for a combo of CDRW+DVD ROM thats (bout 2.3K) HDD yes 120 is enuff (seagate barrcuda is bout 3.9K) RAM yes 512 wld b decent and 1 GB wld b gr8 (512 is bout 2.5K) regardin sound card.. onbard is decent enuff id not suggest u to waste money on it monitor a 17inch samsung sync (costs bout 7.5K) then u got ur cabinet..kbrd..mouse..smps etc etc..

thats bout 30K-35K so ud better get this.. spend 5-10K more but ask for these..

check the edition which deals abt testing processors an motherboards.
