OK. I have my ideas about what I might want but I want to see what other people think. Could you build me a computer with a budget of $800. I don't want to do any extreme overclocking, but possibly some basic tweaks. I want to be able to play the latest games as well as the ones to come. Thanks for your help.
 
Well, I am not quite sure if I can go with an SLI board or not but it would be nice. I was thinking of an AMD 3000+ Venice cause it seems to be th best for the $$$ and for my budget. Possibly a PQI Turbo Series Ram (pc3200). Also, either an Antec NeoPower 480 or an Antec TruePower II 550 with the $20 MIR at newegg. Other than those rough thoughts I am not quite sure, what do you guys think?
 
For motherboard, you can't beat the ASUS A8N-SLI. Has the ASUS stability factor, and SLI for only $125, a price that a lot of nF4 Ultra boards will have trouble beating. Newegg has an XFX 6800GT for $250 AR (get one now, one later). Then get the 1GB Corsair above. Do you need the case and KVM? The TruePower2 550 is great SLI PSU for the money. That's about all the advice I have.
 
I was wondering about that board. Whats the difference between that and the Deluxe and is it too much to lose? I do need a case, but I think I can must up a keyboard and mouse for now until I can buy I really nice one.
 
I prbably won't need a monitor for now cause I can use an extra Dell 17 CRT (hope for an LCD soon though). So I think I may be able to get a little better video card, but is there someone can recommend a parts list. That would be great. Thanks Again.

I thought I just did. Don't expect us to do all the legwork for you this is your computer.
