I can't stop laughing at how much of a joke that setup is.
The Opteron is barely faster than a P4 (and has the same technology).
A 9800GX2 is about the world's biggest rip off at this time. You can buy Gt 280 for less than that.
The ballistix ram is the budget ram Crucial make. You could buy on special for $10 per 1gb not so long ago.
And the AOC monitor for $200. Well thats means it ain't gonna be up to standards.
Seriously the only good choice in that set up is the HD.
