along with this i  am going to order an hp 22 inch monitor which is 309 dollars at amazon

Im 15 but my dad makes all the decisions in my house, so ive had to persuade him enough to get one and its finally paid off. I hope nothing goes wrong and im praying for the best.

My old computer is a dell xps blue edition from 6 years ago. It has 512 mb ram at 400 megahertz, pentium 4 at 3.2 and a radeon 9800, but its filled with hundreds of virus's and such.. Very very annoying when it pops out of a game. I have to run half life 2 at 1024 x 768 medium and low settings. Pitiful and it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to load maps not only on half life 2 but counter strike source.

So overall im hoping for the best experience with ds and hope to do business wiht you guys when i get older

Nice build.  Keep in mind, though, that if you aren't going to overclock, you don't really need the A1 revision Mobo or the 1066 RAM.
