wth u talking about man i had my x800gto for over 5 months now and it plays every thing on high with out a problem and its been unlocked
that build is ok, but 3700 san diago, is abit better. got it clocked to 2.8ghz on stock volts ;D with a 64 freezer pro
If i were you I would just by a crt monitor for now, then upgrade to a lcd 17" Of course you need to by ya know the tower, etc bleh. Im to lazy to type what to reccomend for ya but im sure you will figure it out.
You have a Socket 939 mobo with an AM2 Processor you need a different motherboard. (a socket AM2 motherboard, ill look for one) Also upgrade your memory to DDR2 800 Switch to this X800GTO, its cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814131007 X800GTO cant SLI so just go for this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813123006

You have been a big help. Also, what operating system do you recommend? Xp Pro, home edition, or 2003?
Alright, what is so great about Windows Vista? I've never taken the time to read about it and I was wondering.
Ok hmm.. If you have just a bit more money, like $50, get the Athlon X2 3800+ (unless you plan on upgrading to K8L later in this year.) It may yield a few less FPS, but you will be able to alt+tab flawlessly.
Alright, here is a final run-down of the PC I may get. Let me know if it will be able to run BF2. Although that isn't necessary, but an added bonus.

This will also be my first build, unless I get my brother-in-law or my brother to do it. They might be too busy....so I might have to do it. -_-
put off buying for like a month or so, and get this processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103735 my brother has it with like a 6800 vanilla or 6600GT, im not sure, and he runs cs:s fine. I'm sure it can play BF-2 with the x800gto, plus you can run all the programs you want in the background.
