i agree...looks good but if budget allows i would go with a larger monitor and a better/bigger power supply (antec or comparable brand 380W+). a 17" monitor is kind of puny for gaming, but if budget doesn't agree with a 19" then that's cool. :D

Ditto on the bigger/better power supply.

I have been replacing alot a power supplies in customer's HPs lately. Average machine specs: AMD 3100, 512MB RAM, 100GB, HD, CDRW....with a 250watt PS!! What are they thinking?
