Hi, I'm going to be completely overhauling my pc and I've got about 1300 to spend. I need to spend $170 on a sound card(need a creative with opt out), Dangerden GPU and AMD64 CPU block $100 so that leaves me with 1030 to buy a video card, motherboard,cpu,2gigs ram(need it for BF2 load times). I want to get a good overclocker for the cpu AMD64, a good overclocking mobo(nforce4 ultra?). The thing is I dont know what video card and CPU is the right combo. I dont know which is the bottleneck for which. Since I am going to be going PCI express its hard to decide. Since the x800xl is such a poor overclocker it makes me not want to get it. I dont really want to go with a 6800GT because then its hard to cool the ram once you take off the stock stuff to put on the watercooling. And Also, I know that ATI gpu's are better for handling high resolutions with AA and AF turned all the way up in games OTHER than Doom3. PLEEEEEASE help me decide.
The overall question is whats the best way to go with about 1000 bucks in the way of Video Card, Mobo, 2gigs of ram and a AMD64 CPU?
Am I better off gathering more money?
