and you will end up with faster ram and bus speeds 333 ram or 400 even, for same cash, and a ti 440 or ati 9700 graphics, ti420 isnt bad, but if you build your own details like that wont be skipped and you will get the beter system for same price, trust us, quite a few people here on these very boards have decided against advice to buy ready built "it has a warranty with it" etc, and ended up wishing they hadnt, as pc makers make money by fitting cheap parts, it may be a ti420... but i bet its a naff OEM one for example, my mates is. also, hes never going to be able to find a mobo to fit his case that will run a newer cpu (micro atx) very hard to find decent boards in micro atx format that support new cpu's.
