hi blair888.

overall , ur choise system is good , but much better if u choise AMDX2 4400+ coz it has 2mB of cache so u will working better with hard file . about quadro , PNY , leadtek , HP are best brands ( i'm using HP quadro fx3400 , 100%new, just buy from ebay with lowprice ) , what's ur the cooling system solution ??

i would advise against a BenQ dvd drive. i have a 1620. i had to return it once because it stopped working, that was about 3 months ago. it stopped working again last night.

 

get 2 gigs of ram, even if it mean 4 500 meg chips.

 

also, i would recommend a true 24 pin power supply. the ones that are combos don't offer the same power in 24 pin mode as a true 24 pin does.

I'm running the same mobo, HD, and video card with no problems. I too would suggest getting the 4400+. Also I would go for at least 2Gb of RAM, pretty cheap these days.
