First off, dont get MicroATX.... They suck! No room for expansion!! Secondly, do not get a Pentium4 Processor, they are way overpriced! Thirdly, get dual graphics cards! And fourthly, don't get that Graphics card! It is good, but nothing compared to dual GPUs in SLi. Use the links below, and you decide. I guarantee the PC I show you below is WAY better!!

MOBO:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-517&depa=1
This MOBO pwns!! It is large, well designed, has lots of AWESOME features, and allows for PCI Express Dual Graphics Cards!!!
Price= 269.99

CPU: NOT A PENTIUM4, MUCH BETTER
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-494&depa=1
This processor will burn a hole throught that P4, and it is half the price. This is built on the new 90nm scale, meaning you can Overclock it like CRAZY!!!
Price= $297

RAM: This is the BEST RAM IN THE WORLD, and is still CHEAPER then that Overpriced TigerDirect!! Crucial's Ballistix!!
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-546&depa=1
No RAM can't touch this! It pwns all others!! Get two of those 512MB sticks for 1GB of the WORLD's BEST RAM!!
Price= $113 X2 = $226

Graphics Cards (yes I said Cards, as in two!!!)
http://www.markonecomputers.com/product.asp?pf_id=XFX_PCIE_005
(It is more, but you saved 200 with the processor from AMD) and this is TWO (2) PCI Express Graphics Cards!!
Price= 461.00 X 2= 922.00

Case: This includes an awesome Powersupply!!!
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-144-092&depa=1
I have this case, and it is really cool looking, and really quiet!! Stylish also!! High ratings!!! And it has lots of cool extras!!
Price= $159.00 (includes 500Watt PSU!!)

Ok, here is a link to check out the ASUS SLi Motherboard, which is sooo awesome!! Just take a look at all of its features!!
http://usa.asus.com/powerup/main.htm

Ok, This Comp would be unstoppable!! Get these parts, and feel the wrath of DUal PCIe cards!!!
