Hey,
I don't know a whole lot about computers. I've been trying to customize a really nice computer (really fast and all that good stuff). I'd be using it mainly for music and multitabling, and I need a computer that will work with that new 30 inch Dell monitor (is this video card right?) that I will be purchasing. How does this look?

I was going to upgrade the following:
Processor:
PentiumŪ D Processor 830 with Dual Core Technology (3.0GHz, 800FSB) [add $90 or $2/month2]
Hard Drive:
500GB Serial ATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM) [add $260 or $8/month2]
Speakers:
Dell 5650 5.1 100 Watt Surround Sound Speaker System with Subwoofer [add $40 or $1/month2]
Keyboard:
Dell USB Keyboard add $0 (they don't include a keyboard and
then offer to add one for $0? how does this makes sense?)
Office Software:
Microsoft Office Basic - Includes Word, Excel and Outlook email [add $149 or $4/month2]
Downgrade:
Video Ready w/o Monitor [subtract $360] (getting that 30 inch monitor as soon as it comes out)
So in total it would run me like $3500...
Should I upgrade/downgrade on anything to make the computer
run better?
Thanks.
