Advice on a new system

[Mirth]

I'm looking to get a new system for my wife, the only hardcore thing she does on it is play World of Warcraft and Multitask during so. (Hence the 2 gigs of ram )

I put this together using the Ibuypower website and would like some of your guys thoughts on it's makeup and the price. My knowledge on such things is very outdated, so any help is apreciated.


Processor ( [939-pin] AMD® Athlon-64 4000+ CPU w/ Hyper Transport Technology )

Motherboard ( eVGA nForce-4 SLI Chipset Dual DDR w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394, Dual PCI-E MB )

Memory ( 2048 MB [1024MB X2] DDR-400 PC3200 Memory Module Corsair-Value or Major Brand )

Video Card ( [PCI-Express 16x] Nvidia Geforce 6800GT 256MB w/DVI + TV Out Video )

Hard Drive ( 160 GB HARD DRIVE Western Digital 160 GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA-100 2MB Cache Hard Drive )

CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive ( Sony DWQ-28A Dual Format/Double Layer 16X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive Black )

Sound Card ( 3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard )

This is going to run me about $1,450 before taxes and shipping.

Thoughts?

Looks nice, a lot of people here are going to advise you to go dual core which if you're shelling out the cash for a 4000+ would be a smart choice especialy sice you're multi-tasking check out the X2 3800+ or I you can handle another hundred bucks look at the X2 4200+, also don't skimp on the PSU on a nice system like this make sure it can handle it.
