Celeron D Question

Okay so what do you guy's think of these specs.

Atrix Powerlogic 5000 Chasis
Omega Mega Power 500W Modular PSU
Asus P5LD2-VM Mobo
Intel Pentium-D 945 3.4Ghz CPU
Corsair Value Select 1GB DDR2 667 RAM
Seagate SATA2 250GB HDD

Need to save a bit more to get a decent graphics card. The Case and power supply cost me nothing. The Mobo cost me R150 brand new.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

So what do you think?

Any other advice?
 
Got one from a colleague at my office who just upgraded to Core2Duo. Let me have it for R900. BTW the CPU is only 2 month old.

Great deal dont you think?
 
hmmm... you guys seem to be missing the point... you could get new graphics and ram but with those cpu's the graphics card and ram are going to have to wait for the things the cpu is prossessing... thus you wont have good performance. the cpu is very important to gaming as it is the thing that makes the raw info to send to the graphics card, and if one has a bad cpu the gpu will just sit there and only get small amounts of data, which is the max that the cpu is pumping out. its kinda like having a bike with a tinny motor and the best gear box that will fit, sure it will give a few extra kilo watts but is limited by that small motor.

By "you guys", you must mean me, the Celeron D is not a bad processor (small motor). Its a slightly crippled P4. Sure its no Athlon 64 (939 or AM2) or Core 2 Duo, but for its pricepoint its fast and available in large numbers, and the 65nm ones should be able to overclock decently.
