Good call Miagi. Also, the 9600 isn't a very good card from what I've heard. There's the 9500, the 9600, and the 9700. The 9500 was supposed to be a crippled version of the 9700 card, but they didn't cripple it enough and it's actually a pretty good card. Then the 9600 came out and 9500 shortly went off the market. Though you're going after an X card anyways which is probably better than a 9800 regardless. I'm not even sure if I have all the cards straight anyways, I just know that the 9500 turned out to be a really sweet card for the cost and the 9600 was worse off. I dunno much about the X700, but I'm sure it'll suffice. Other than that DVD Writer you're going to want (=P) this sounds like a decent machine.
