Seems expensive - check out the sum total of the individual part prices of a site like www.overclockers.co.uk

For a littly shy of the grand mark I'd expect an Intel CPU and two hard drives.

If the motherboard has a soundchip built in then there's no need for an expensive sound card - you won't notice it on a 2 speaker set-up.

Also if you already have XP, there's no need to pay for it again
