as a point of reference, the puter in my sig. was 1100-1200.
This includes, a 280watt surrond sound system, 3 hard drives, a ups, and a joy stick.
Granted, you have a better cpu, and video card.
But still overpriced.

A waste?
Erm no.
So far runs CS:S, Doom3, and farcry. At full res, no problem.

intel p4 3,4 ghz @ 4,2 with cooling that can achieve -100c or lower
ABIT IC7-max3
phase change for mobo chipset
ati x800 pro vivo since it cheaper and can be flashed to xt pe
2x PC3200 - 512 MB - DDR - Corsair Platinum R C2
audigy 2 Zs 7.1
offcourse core off the x800 overclocked to 680 mhz without artifacts
and mem 1 ghz higher if posible
with this you can play with 16x af 6x aa
anything else on high
and will give you a kick ass score for 3dmark05 or 03 etc

3dmark is no reason to buy a card.
For example, the 9600xt scores a crap load higher on 3dmark05. Then the 5900xt.
Yet it performs much better in games.

Falcon Northwest is the most overpriced system maker on the marker...Voodoo systems are nice but also overpriced 200$+...oh and Alienware is the best damn system maker I've ever seen, benchmarked 3 of their systems and they do great for the prices
