Planning on building a new system

[cygnus]

Well guys, I think I may be building myself a new system in the near future. Just want something to run Windows Vista at a reasonable speed (anything as fast, or faster than my laptop is great) and I have decided on these following parts:

I know the CPU isn't anything much, but I have been more than happy with the processor in my laptop, so I think a CPU that is about 1Ghz faster, but just less the cache will still be OK.

Let me know what you guys think

man with only a gig of ram and upto 224 megs of SHARED video I think youll run into some bottlenecks...

Not meant to be a powerhouse, just to run Vista. My laptop is basically the same configuration really. Plus, I don't want to spend more than $200.

Heres the website to build the system:

I think I may go with the Intel Dual Core 925. 3.0ghz, 4Mb Cache with 800Mhz FSB.

It's only 95 bucks, so it brings the total to $226, which, 26 bucks I can afford.
