    Whats your budget.

    For gfx card you can get a 6600GT which is sub $200.

    For motherboards if your on a tight budget I would say get a MSI K8N Neo4-F with a A64 3000+ 939

    Harddrives i would go with a 400 gig for 250 to 300 for a nice one or for around 150 you can get a top of the line 10000 RPM 36 GIG RAID those are awesome


    I have a 400 GIG Western Digital and 2 15000 74 GIG RAID SATA's and o my god it is fast as hell i love it

    i wouldnt, you can get a Geforce 6800 for around 175 at newegg

    I'd stay away from the Sapphire 9800 Atlantis as last i checked it had a 128mb memory bus compared to 256bit 9800Pro that are built by ATI. The Atlantis comes gimped out of the box.


    what i would do

    not necessarily, the cpu you chose may have better muti tasking but in games and what not it'll still be around the same performance as the 3500.
    The 7800GTX also has better performance than the 7800GT. 2gb will be more useful down the road compared to the one GB of ram.

    And the 2 10k RPM raptors in RAID will outperform the 7200 RPM Seagate drive altho they have less storage

    ya but when u have a processor set up for multitasking you will have less freezing and u can run more programs.

    what u said bout gaming is true but id go with the processor set up for multitasking because you will have less problems in the long run.

    and as u can see i have a multitasking processor. i would give it out but u cant buy it cuz it was specially made for T.G.I Fridays (the reastraunt)
