I hope that link works. This will be my first "performance" AMD system and although it will not be purchased till maybe next year (most likely Q1) I want to know if I'm getting the right idea for today's well-priced gaming system. Overclocking is planned as well, hence the 2x1gb DDR500's and the Zalman 7700.

And as for dual-core X2 suggestions, please don't. ;) I will upgrade to that once the technology is truly streamlined into games. Also, about the video card, I put in the $500 7800GTX simply because it's a top performer and because it represents the price of which I'd pay for a video card. ATI's 7800-contender will likely be out by the time I purchase this system and I'm probably going to go for that.
 
well what you gonna buy Q1 of next year will be different TRUST ME.

the rig i bought a month ago in my sig was totally different from what i had envision it to be (components wise) 6 months ago.

for example:

venice instead of winchester
7800gtx instead of 2 x 6800gt
ocz plat rev 2s instead of corsair value (thx u TCC5 price drop)

so yeah just to give you an idea
6 months is an ERA in the computer business

Yes, as I've stated, I want this to be rated on a scale of today's performance systems. I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing in terms of matching up hardware that is currently out there. Pretend I were to buy it in a week or so.

If your are going with the Asus board, go with the Premium instead of the Deluxe. Just to save the time and hassle when (not if) the northbridge fan die. It is basically the same price.
 
No [H]ard|Drive? A new HDD will be a good investment in the overall responiveness of the computer, even if you have a fairly recent 8MB buffer drive. Maxtor and WD have 16MB buffer drive that blow away the performance of 8MB buffer drives, and the 73GB Raptor is a monster performer as well.

Just before I read this I added 2 Raptors to the list. :)
