New Build

[StoneWolf]

I was hoping for some advice about what components to use when I rebuild my pc. My video card is about to crap out on me, so I need to replace it; in the process, I figure I may as well upgrade to PCI express, which means a new mobo, which in turn means a new processor, so it looks like I'm going to have to shell out some cash.

Its a gaming rig, and I'd like something on the high end of the mid-tier, price/performance wise; I'd ideally like to spend no more than c£400 here. I'm partial to Athlon rather than intel, but aside from that I'm open to suggestions.

So what do you think, guys? Can you reccommend me a video card/mobo/cpu combo?

Asus A8N-SLI and a BFG 6600GT OC.

Its workin for me. My opinion is, $800+ for 2 6800's is waaaay to much money. So when I can afford to get my second 6600, I'll have something better than 1 6800.

After some advice, I'm considering the following:

Abit AN8 Fatal1ty nForce4 Ultra AMD Athlon 64 PCI-Express Motherboard £101
Sapphire Radeon X800 XL 256MB PCI Express £200
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ £99

Any suggestions on changes, etc? This look like a good build?
