looks decent enough... except for the graphic card. id get a full 7900GT, and have it 256bit, even tho it costs a bit more, it'll last you longer, especially for your side dish of gaming.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130281 but its 270, about a 100 more but it'll last you awhile... but yea go with what u believe, i dont kno your budget.

HDD: Get one with 16Mb cache
Ram: Check the QVL at Asus or use the Corsair configurator to be sure that you order a compatible part number. Floppy Drive: Might be needed during setup. OS: The OEM version of XP will be fine Unless you need some specific feature of XP Pro or want the Media Center Edition. Video Card: Depends on what games you want to play, The 7600 might be sufficient.
