Here's my potential system, which I would be looking to buy around early August when the parts are available.

CPU:
AMD 64 x2 3800+
~$350?


Motherboard:
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
$160

Video Card
7800GTX
~$500ish by August sounds about right

RAM
1GB Kingston HyperX PC4000
$0.00 (from my last P4 system)

Case
CM Stacker RC-810
~$150

Hard Drive
Hitachi 7K250
$100

Power Supply
NeoPower 480w
$80

DVD-RW
NEC ND-3540A
$40


Wha do you think?
 
not too sure, but won't the X2 3800+ be a little underpowered for a 7800gtx?
 
Aren't the X2 3800+s supposed to be pretty quick? What processor would go best with the 7800GTX for around or under $5350ish?
 
I'm not positive...just seeing that it's at 2ghz i think? You could go with a single core as most games don't utilize dual core...for now. Then again, who knows 6mths from now.
 
I want something that I wouldn't have to upgrade for a while. I've had my 2.8GHz P4 HT since the summer of 2003, and am now doing an upgrade.
 
Do you plan on OC'ing or no? You'll have to take some advice from some other people as well, but a 4000+ san diego wouldn't be bad if you don't want to OC anything.
 
I tinkered with overclocking on my 2.8GHz P4, but didn't notice too much of a difference at 3.5Ghz than 2.8, so I'm not sure whether I would overclock. I plan on putting an XP120 on the processor, so if I could make a modest overclock and notice the difference in performance, I would go for it.
 
Should I consider going with just a 3200+ and a 6800 Ultra or something and saving some cash?
