What power supply are you planning to use?

I just built a P965 system and am happy with it - it's stable which is the
main thing and it seems to have enough flexibility to get the most out of
the components.

It looks like the system might be a tad on the noisey side with a side vent
and a fan on the video card heat sink. Some folks don't notice the noise
but others do. Noise can always be fixed later when more $$ are available.

Looks pretty good. Upgrade your memory to ddr2 800, then add the following:

Done! -Dave
 
Not for nothing, I love Newegg, but sometimes you can find a few
things cheaper by using Pricegrabber or something else like that. I
found a monitor for 40 bones cheaper with it...I was going to buy it
from Newegg. I guess it's a little different because I have to pay tax
on things since I'm from Jersey, but just my 2 cents!
 
Your system is not exactly BUDGET, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

For a real BUDGET system, look for a 6150 embedded graphics MoBo, a single
core AMD 939 cpu, and 1 GB of DDR RAM - about $225 at the +3500 speed
level. That's bang for the buck. You could get it under 200 at a slight
drop in speed and only 512 MB RAM - just fine for XP, which is of course
recommended. [6150 will do Vista Aero, just stay w/ 1 GB RAM].

just my 2 cents, worth both pennies at least...
 
A *budget* PC!!
