I wanted to build a gaming pc.
I have pretty limited hardware knowledge but I have built a system before (like 8 years ago).
I'm looking to get a desktop mostly for gaming.
Here's what I picked out:
XION Onyx XON-303 Black/Blue Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813138074
HIS Hightech H260XTQT512DDN-R Radeon HD 2600XT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

Now this all totals about $700 and I'll still have to purchase a copy of WinXP, but my budget was about $1100 to $1200.
Any Ideas/suggestions/upgrades/compatability issues/things I forgot?
Thanks in advance.
