Custom Built Computer?????

So, I Was wondering if you guys could give me stats for a really good custom built computer for less then 1k. I had a pretty good idea, but I just want some suggestions.
I was thinking around atleast a
- 2.5 ghz P4 or AMD Athlon equilevant to a p4(which ever is better I dont now)
- 512mb ram,
- 40 or 80 GIG hdd,
- dont know about sound cards(would like to now whats worth my money)
- Radeon 9200 graphic card
- possibly a DVD Rom/ Burner

So is that good and less then 1k????

i already have pretty god speakers, cd burner and moniter, but may need to replace.

All feedback is welcome.

Ya, you can build that for a good bit under 1k. Check www.newegg.com for parts.

the more important question is: Is it a good pc???i think yes, but wanna make sure. And which is better: Pentiums or AMD Athalons?

Pentium 4's are better for gaming imho. Athlons are still good though. And i woudl recommend going with Nvidia vid cards. Ive been hearing bad things about the radeons lately. for under 1k or so,m you can get a good pc, but nothing GREAT.

I would go with AMD over Pentium. I haven't done much comparison with the Athlon 64s, but comparing a Pentium and a similarly priced AMD XP shows the XP owning with even a slower processing rate.

I have a friend who has had some problems with his Radeon, but I still like them better than nVidia cards.

I love my Radeon. ATI has always been reliable to me. Stick with them, and fuck Nvidia.
