Default Rate my new computer purchase

Ok, it only took me about 2 years to finally upgrade. My old CPU is literally held together by duct tape at this point. Here's what I got.

ASRock 939 Dual SATA2 mobo - $68

I went with this mobo because it supports both PCI-E and AGP. I have a 9800 Pro AGP card right now that I want to keep using instead of paying to upgrade. In the future I want a PCI-E, so this seemed like the right way to go.

Athlon 64 3700+ - $233

It was between this and the 3200. I thought, hell, I'm going to keep this system for a while... might as well spend the $70 extra to get the faster chip and bigger L2 cache.

Antec Sonata Case - $99

Comes with 450W power supply, which I'm told is solid.

1 gig Corsair Value Select RAM - $74

The mobo only accepts PC3200 ram, and this seemed OK.

37 gig Raptor HD - $104

This should speed up PT.

320 gig WD Caviar 7200 rpm - $130

Needed more space than just the system drive.

How'd I do?

Total cost was around $700 before shipping.
