Will be using it for games and work, as well as the net. Want it to be able to handle any of the top games really, have a good monitor. Not too bothered about sound/imaging or anything like that. Can anyone tell me where this system's weak points are, and what to upgrade to?
Cheers

Erm well only thing I'd say is you may want to push up the video card to a 256mb version, but that looks fine.
Apart from that, all looks good.

If possible, see the monitor in action as some flat panel monitors are rubbish for games over a good CRT. Make sure you see how good it is, read reviews.

Not a bad system really. However, I wouldn't expect much performance out of that X300SE card.

The X800XL card is the best bang for buck at the minute.
