Most overrated band/artist
Radiohead put out some really nice stuff with The Bends and Kid A. I don't really like anything else, but OK Computer was one of the first non-metal albums I listen to. I found them pretty addictive back then. AC/DC, however, have zero redeeming qualities. Oh yes. This band is so insipid and repetitive that I could use them as a sleeping aid.

Building My Own Computer
More powerful hardware is out of his/her budget. It will easily play games at high settings, sure my monitor is only 1440x900, but even on my budget build, i can play on high settings without lag. Asus is weird in customer service sometimes, and MSI - i don't know if they've changed to better components yet - but their components are/used-to-be of cheap quality. Yeah. My Athlon X2 7750 and 8800GTS can still run most things on high at 1280x1024. It starts to struggle at about 1680x1050 (comfortable on medium) but anything above that needs to be set to a mixture of medium/low settings for it to run well and still look relatively alright. It's kind of amazing how older hardware is still good considering all the advances since I built this. Yeah, with ASUS you're taking a bit of a gamble (as I've learned) but the coolers and performance figures are quite nice on them. The newer MSi cards are pretty good quality, and again, they have really nice coolers and performance. I've never dealt with HIS and the only dedicated ATi GPU brand I've used is Sapphire, again, fairly good but not really amazing. Also, seconding Dell monitors being great. When this one gives up, I think I'll get a Dell one.

Antivirus
Antivirus programs often get in my way rather than being useful. Of course, I have one installed because it's kind of silly to run Windows without anything to fall back on if stuff does go wrong. I usually have the active protection disabled though.

Building My Own Computer
Upgrading to 7 is probably more advisable on newer hardware, and especially if you're gaming. Other than that, I like OldJoe's build. Might want to swap in an ASUS or MSi 5770 though. Those seem to have a pretty good repuation. Also, don't expect to max things at 1920x1080/1920x1200. You'd need a bit more power in the CPU/GPU department for it to be comfortable. If you're just going to be playing at lower/more common resolutions, then you shouldn't have too many issues.

New Computer Build
Yes. People are hailing 7 as "faster" because they now have the correct hardware to utilise it. I ran Vista for some time on my P4/6200/1.5GB DDR1 machine and it wasn't that bad. I used the 7 RC on my current machine for some while and nothing really stood out about it. I wanted to upgrade from XP, so I just installed Vista. My mother's desktop has roughly similar specifications to my own and it has 7 installed; the difference between Vista SP2 and 7 aren't really that noticeable at all for me. I think it's pretty amazing that the anti-Vista people that haven't used it since launch are going all over 7. Anyway: I like it. It's powerful and aesthetically pleasing and I hope it looks great by the time you're done with it.
