I am in the process of shopping for a new gaming computer. I have around 1800-2000 to spend on it.

Here is what i have so far.

-Processor -
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103539
I was told that i should go with the 3700 because it has 1mb cache and the 3800 only has 512mb plus the 3800 is alot more and if i overclock it'll be nice

-Motherboards -
Abit Fatal1ty

DFI Lan party

Asus A8N
Which motherboard do you suggest i get? I heard that the Abit has some problems, and the DFI has some RAM problems?

-Ram-

-Case-
Some lian li case, i love lian li

-Power Supply-

-Video Card-
7800GTX or GT, Also should i wait for crossfire and get 2 X850XT's? or should i just get the one 7800 now?

-Sound Card-
Audigy 2 ZS - already own

-DVD-
i need recommendations on a good fast DVD burner


What do you think? Should I make any changes? All suggestions are welcome. Thanks
 
why go 1gb on the RAM when you are going high end graphics...granted the two are insanely related but it seems that you probably want to game and BF2 runs better on 2gb of RAM.

as for the processor..spend the extra 58 bucks and get the 4000+ san deigo.

motherboard...ASUS sli platinum one.
 
i couldnt be happier with my 3700+ :) as for the motherboard, do u plan on overclockin heavily?? if so get the DFI or the MSI...i have the MSI and love it but lots of people have had great results with the DFI so i dont doubt its a good board....i would just get 1 7800gtx right now....for a dvd burner i have the NEC 3520A and havent had a single problem with it...i think theres a slighty newer model the 3540A...i dunno the difference though :p good luck!
 
hmmm i do play alot of bf2. Any suggestions on RAM? or should i just get 2 of the stuff i got now?

EDIT: buy another pack of the stuff i have now... would be a little much. Need suggestions please! Thanks

okay, well i actually plan on going with the asus a8n-premium. I might do a little overclocking but thats it.

Any suggestions on 2 gigs of RAM would be appreciated.

So far, i'm going to buy a

7800GTX
Asus A8N-Premium SLI
AMD64 4000 San Deigo
and 2 gigs of RAM which i need help on.

Thanks

EDIT: To save money for the 2 gigs i downgraded to pc-3500

2 of those is in my price range. Are those nice sticks of RAM?

Thanks
