    Don't too much care for the motherboard, but for $500 it would be hard to beat that. Unless ya know peeps.

    Ebay is not as bad as people make it out to be, they have buyer protection laws... unless the auction has fine print stating otherwise. ie...sold as is, yada yada yada.

    If they screw ya over, put a stop payment or a trace and refund. It may cost ya about $30 dollars at the bank to do those things, but ya get the majority of you're money back. ;)

    And for what you're saving with those specs it's worth a $30 gamble.

    The video cards aboslutely suck ... the FX line of cards blow. I would definitely recommend buying a different video card and then just installing it.

    I also recommend upgrading your HD. 80 GB can get filled up pretty fast ...

    I luv ATI personally and hate nvidia. They require too many drivers and loose so much stuff w/ their hardware....

    9600+pro here it pullz its weight.

    I like the pc but there it no way its gonna go for that price.

    And after you get it. WIPE IT! I can't stress this enought when buying this kinda stuff. FIND A WIPER OFF GOGGLE!
