That depends on how much it's costing you?

Is this for gaming......:\?

Needs double the ram at the very least, and if you could stretch to a nice C2D then it be good.

Budget?

Bear in mind that Pent D's and the 7900 will run hot ...so is it wise putting them on a micro atx board and in a small case...think cooling

Fair enough, but if you plan on vista then it will be needing upgraded.  What latency is the choosen RAM?

Get another gig of RAM, and swap that processor for an Intel E6400

2GB helps, but 1GB is not that detrimental to you're performance. Just runs like a turd after it loads the game, dumping all the Verified Data crap and putting the game back in.

I have a E6300 right next to me with 1GB and a 7600GT. At all Highs, with 2x AA @ 1024x768 it got 60FPS.

Any higher res and the AA is too much for 1GB.

Wait until the 40% price breaks on the new Intel E series processors. This should happen before vista launches. You should also get 2GB of memory as Vista idles at 750mb, same as Rainbow Six: Vegas.

You'll also need to get a mobo with socket LGA 775.

When buying a computer always get the mobo that will not be socket-outdated in 1 month. Seriously. It means more problems when you try to upgrade a simple part in the future, getting a cheap E6200 now and getting the then cheap Extreme Edition 965 will be the wiser course.
