Looks good. Get a better vid card. 9600Pro or 960XT.

The power supply is a very important and often overlooked component. Don't be cheap with it, get a good name brand like Enermax etc. More problems on these BB's seem related to power supplies than anything else

Barton 2500+
Abit NF7-S v 2.0
Maxtor 60GB ATA 133 7200RPM
512MB Corsair Twinx 3200LL
9600 Pro
Enermax Noisetaker 420 watts
Win98SE

Buy a better video card like Radeon 9600 PRO or Radeon 9600XT. FX5600 is pure garbage.

512 MB RAM is highly recommended. It shouldn't cost too much.

R9600 PRO and R9600XT is way better than FX5600 and FX5600 Ultra

The 5600u2 is not a terrible card for Dx 8.1 and earlier games. It only runs into problems with Dx9 shaders. Nvidia has made some solid gains with drivers, but have not been able to catch up to Ati. A comparably priced card, such as the 9600pro is a much better option.

Gigabyte radeon 9600 pro retail-$137 at newegg and comes with three shoot them up games(each rated four stars by amazon.com customers) or the best radeon 9600xt by asus,also with three games and a bunch of software;but selling for around $185 at newegg.
