New build - Would like some input

[scarTC]

Hey guys I'm looking for some input on the parts im looking to buy for a new gaming build. I'll be playing mainly AoC when it comes out, so I'm going to hold off on a video card until early March but I just put the 8800 in there as a marker.

I would like to play at higher resolutions, yet still maintain great FPS.
Would I need a better power supply do you guys think?
How's the processor?


I'm totally open to any and all ideas. All input is appreciated!


Thanks guys!

Choices are good.
Just my two cents here...... what OS are you going to use???
The MB is ok, but if you arent too set, look at P35 boards as well......they tend to OC better if you are interested. The 650i chips dont.
Also is SLI an option for the future????
That PSU is fine, but if you want a bit more bulletproofing, go up to the 620.
DDR2 RAM is really cheap now. I dont know much about PQI but if it was me......Corsair XMS is very good and well supported.

Thanks for your recommended choices magoo, ill think them over.

I'll probably be using XP.
I don't know about SLI, I just figured I could get a decent MB and it would last me through the new cards as well.

if money is an issue, go with the ati 3870/3850, if it's not, stay with the 8800
