Hey guys, how does this build look? I'm trying not to spend a penny more than this to be honest lol. I mostly play Second Life (combat, its called DCS2) and what not, so lag prevention is at a premium. Let me know what you think.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I already have a free copy of Windows 7 on its way from a laptop purchase last month. I also have a sound card, keyboard, monitor, mouse, and speakers, so i THINK that's all I need, though I've never done any computer-related work like this before.

the motherboard/cpu combo deal just expired but would have worked great for a basic build. the graphics card would have covered your second slot, though. its possible the windows 7 cd is only an upgrade for the laptop and wouldn't work without a preinstalled version of windows
