New gaming computer, suggestions plz!

[hacktor2]

I'm in the market for a new gaming computer. Heres my shopping list so far:

CPU
AMD64 X2 3800+
or
AMD64 4000+

MOTHERBOARD
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium

VIDEO CARD
BFG Geforce 7800GTX or should i got with the BFG 7800 GT?

RAM
OCZ Titanium 2GB (2x1GB) PC-3200

POWERSUPPLY
Thermaltake PurePower 500W

HEATSINK/FAN
XP-120 and Panaflo M1A

This will be used as a gaming/homework/whatever computer, it needs to be able to handle bf2, CS:S, hl2, and all those [H]games out there. I don't need harddrives, cd roms or anything like that.

Please comment on my parts, and help me chose the cpu and the video card. Thanks

Do you multi-task alot? if not you might be better off with a 3200+ proc and just overclocking, also I would get the Geforce 7800GTX.

i dont' really multitask. Well i do, but it's just AIM, Winamp, and surfing the web. Plus, the 3200 + doesn't have 1mb of L2 cache. So the dual core is out of the question? Any other comments on my ram, cpu, video card, motherboard?

the 3200+ or a 3000+

so what if it doesn't have 1MB L2
it'll perform great man

don't fall into Intel's hole of marketing numbers, while 1MB L2 AMD's do better it's not worth the money if you can get the same thing for LOTS cheaper

also i'd suggest the 7800GT
possibly 2 if you were able to afford a single 7800GTX (it'd be faster with 2 GT's)


and yeah everything else seems fine
change the PSU though, check an Antec or Enermax unit out
