I plan on getting a geforce 8 creative labs sound card along with a nice amd 64 bit dual core good harddrive monitor and maybe windows xp vista.
Baba, why are you getting a sound card? Do you have a fancy audio setup? If so, then its understandable (though be sure to search about the net to make sure Creative's got their asses in gear on the card you're getting if you go with Vista), but if not, any onboard sound should be more than capable for you to run Wing Commander . Oh, yeah, if you're building this yourself, remember, NewEgg's got Vista licenses on the cheap for system builders!
