    the gfx card is great,
    i dont really like the keyboard and mouse though :\

    keyboard:
    its one of those wierd keybaords, which i could never get used to..

    mouse:
    isnt rechargeable...

    i would go for a keyboard/mouse set that comes with rechargeable mouse :)

    and go for the x800 from newegg like diablo said

    All right.. Heres what I rate the following products :

    ATI Graphics Card : 10/10

    Very Very good, I would say the best In My Opinion.

    Headset : All of them are the same so I really couldn't rate this.

    Key-Board : 4/10

    I have the same keyboard but A different model..And I hate it, the only good thing about it is that it has shortcut buttons to the Calculator, Log Off button, Sleep Buttpn, and etc..

    Mouse : It really doesn't matter about the mouse, they are all the same except the ones with the ball in em..Those totally suck, so I would prefer laser..

    I'm going to post some suggestions..

    Suggested Key-Board :

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1122655672232

    I use that for gaming on my dads Mac

    Suggested Mouse :

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1055388012575

    This is a nice and small wireless mouse..I have it and it works great.

    Suggested HeadSet : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1099392726705

    I have all these and they work great..

    I would say that all the things your getting are great. I wouldnt reccomend getting a better keyboard..it takes a LOOONG TIME to get used to those curved ones..

    yes, same with the keyboard.

    AND DO NOT BUY IT FROM BESTBUY!

    you can find it at Tigerdirect.com or newegg.com for a fraction of the price..

    download cpu-z. Go to mainboard tab and tell us what it says or just take a screenshot of it.

    also if you have a dell or similar you can almost rule out getting a decent gfx card by about 99%.
