It looks ok, but I'd bump up the video card to at least a 5900 if you wanna play Doom 3 when it's available for Linux.

 

And as for the hard drive, yeah, I agree. My games partition alone is 40GB, heh.

 

I have a lot of Linux games (at least compared to the number that there are), and here I have listed all of them, I think. The ones in bold I love to play. :)

Ah, well, here's hoping it performs well. I am disappointed with my GF4 Ti4200 and was since I bought it, so next time I'm not skimping. :)

I like my 5700 ultra, plays my games just fine. You might look for a hardrive that gets 8MB cache too. I don't mind my ti4200 either but Dolson plays more games than I.

1GB of MB RAM? LOL! Typo.

 

Must be lol. nah I think that 512 is plenty for todays game, maybe in a few months or years I should get a few more sticks of RAM.

Well, how more RAM, how faster programs will compile... :)

I only have a Ti4200 as well. Most of my gaming these days takes place on my Xbox. I have all but given up on Linux gaming.
