All depends on what you are going to do on the unit but best to future proof the graphics and spend most of your money on it.

Did you realise coin that to have a RAID setup you should use 2 hard disk drives of the same size and preferably the same make\model.

Top range my crack.

Like an ATi Radeon 9600XT! It's just cheap, reliable and in the top range.

That graphics card is pretty awful, choose something else.

Not bad.

But... 2.8 isn't great. Heh. 3+.

1GB is absolutely fine.

Know absolutely nothing about nVidia cards. I go with Radeon... So if you wanna change, get an X800 etc...

I've got a 120GB HDD too. But I'm buying either another 80GB drive in a RAID 0 array, or a 200GB HDD. Depends on prices.

What a terrible terrible system.
