I think the system looks great, although I have two issues with it:
1.) Power supply. Get a name brand, decent one. I'm running an Antec currently and it has been serving me well. One I was just looking at is the Thermaltake PurePower which looks nice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817153049

2.) If you're not going to use SLI, don't spend the extra money on the board with it. Just a waste of money and one more thing that can break on your mobo :)

I'm personally running a Zalman 9700 LED on my AMD Athlon64 2800+ and it runs awesome. My CPU hardly gets over room temp at idle (including Cool 'n Quiet which brings it down to 800mhz at idle)

The computer is being built for web design, and gaming. I play a lot of WoW and I am going to college for web development. Basically I want this setup to be badass, but I don't want to pay a fortune because like most of you have stated.. it will just be outdated soon. The original plan was to run two VC's, but I have to pick one first.

Here's my suggestion. You will want to add Winderz XP to this if you aren't using your previous one.

-The Rundown-
AMD 4600+
2 gigs Corsair Ram
NForce 550 Biotech mobo
NVidia 7950gt video card
Seagate 320 gig SATA HDD
430 watt power supply
=
$623.96 + shipping

subtract $100 total for rebates.

I upgraded a year ago because my 3000+ with 1 gig of ram and 500 gigs was too slow. I upgraded to 4800+ 2 gigs of ddr2 and 16x PCIe ATI 1900
