Thanks everybody for your suggestions :)

We finally ordered the setup I said on my first post, with the difference the graphics card (we ordered an X1950 Pro instead of an 7600GS. Is it better than 7600GS?)
If we are lucky, then the PC would be ready by tomorrow :D

Too bad we didn't get a TV tuner card (but got that thing ^o)) or that Asus lightscribe dvdrw drive... :(

Final Cost: 1700 Euros.

lol that's the one I recommended.. It's better than 7900GS and can compete with 7900 GT (with default clocks :p).. So yeah, it completely knocks out 7600

I think you overpaid for that config.. :$

Well, it would have costed €1500 (-€200) if we didn't buy that Pinnacle Studio 700 card.
I didn't want that card, I wanted a TV card... :(


Meh :P

XP Professional and Vista Ultimate.
Will mostly use Vista. I only installed XP so that we can use a program that we really need that doesn't work in Vista.
