my current rig:

Kingwin KT-436-wm mid-tower case
Athlon 64 3000+ (NewCastle) s754
1 GB Corsair XMS ddr-400
Gigabyte nforce 3 250 MB
ATI Radeon 9600
Maxtor 120GB HDD SATA
Maxtor 250GB HDD SATA
Creative sound blaster audigy 2
Viewsonic VX20205wm 20.1inch LCD

Ive been looking at:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ and overclock or the X2 5000+ because of the price drops

Evga Geforce 7600 gt ko or ATI x1600?? or x1800??

CORSAIR XMS2 1GB DDR2-800

ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition or Foxconn C51XEM2AA

I wanna go AM2 and the X2 route because of prices. The new conroe seems pretty intriguing (especially the E6600), but im not very familiar with intel systems. it is still a possibilty. Anyways im kinda confused on what to get (ATI or Nvidia graphics cards and chipsets) a board with either SLI or Crossfire for a possible upgrade in the future. I do a lot of music editing/recording, some gaming (COD2, FEAR, HL2), photoshop, etc. probably wont be purchasing this for awhile but i just want the best bang for my buck.

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
 
First off, I dont see why you wouldn't want to go with Conroe. Whats their not to be familar with? You essentially still just stick it in the socket, and then once the heatsink goes on it doesn't matter who makes it. You'll be kicking yourself in the pants for months to come if you dont.
 
I've been looking to get the Foxconn C51XEM2AA..i like what I've been reading on the web about it..
