RAM: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 2 DIMMs
Memory: 160GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive (10,000RPM) w/DataBurst Cache
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB
Physics Accelerator: AGEIA® PhysX® physics accelerator
Sound Card: Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ XtremeMusic (D) Sound Card

Could someone make any suggestions for better options or where I could get something like this or better for under $2000? This is just the desktop and I built it on dell.com, it was dimension desktop which now seems to have been taken off the site. (probably temporary, due to lack of inventory)
Very overpriced. physX card not needed, once it is, newer gen gfx card will include it anyway. Would you consider building one yourself?
