Edit:
Changed some stuff
 
Two things I recommend.

Get a core 2 duo...even if its the cheapest you can...celerons are balls slow.
Get a Zotac 7300GT. It's like 30 bucks for a graphics card that will get you by. I play Orange Box fine with it, good deal for the price.

But if you have no other money that system is good for the price I suppose.

As i said before, im not going to be heavy gaming, until i buy the 8800.
 
You should seriously just stick to the one topic you made and just reply to there.

Why did you buy such an expensive mouse?
Also, I'm not sure an 8800GT will fit in a small case like that :/

I'm not trying to troll or anything, but please stop making threads about this computer unless you are ready to buy. You've made tons of these.
QFT.
Savage, one is enough. We will help you on THAT particular thread. This way you also keep thing organized.
 
Seriously your pc suck, wth are you thinking ? Celeron processor ? do you even know what that means ? same thing for your IDE HD, come on, in 2008 we use SATA 2. I dunno where you are getting your stuff/info but you need to shop a little bit more.

Dell.com has way better deal. Quick exemple
 
you could actuly build something way better for about the price and a celeron aint very good if its gunna be used for gaming i mean sure u got a 8800 but with a celeron single core u might aswell but a P3 laptop lol
